Un-Stuffed Bell Pepper Casserole ( Crock Pot )

Pa. Hiker's Note:

Easy to pack for lunches. I make a batch ahead of time, freeze them into servings, then take one to work for a good home-made lunch.

I've made this a few times, but on the stove top. It's easy and delicious and never gets complaints!

Our family enjoyed this recipe. I made it exactly as suggested, using the diced tomato option. The only rice I had on hand was the Success 10 minute Boil-in-Bag variety so instead of adding it at the beginning and risking it getting mushy, I cooked it and added it 30 minutes before I served dinner. I also added some seasoned salt and dill since I usually put that in my regular stuffed peppers. It was great! My husband actually said that he liked this just as much as the real thing! Thank you for posting. I will definitely be making it again!
