Submitted by CookingONTheSide

"An oval slow cooker works best for these. If you have a round cooker, you may only be able to fit 4 peppers. Divide extra filling among the peppers, mound slightly."

This was good and easy to make. I used chicken flavored stove top and regular butter. We enjoyed this "different" stuffed pepper but it seemed like it was missing something.
