Crock Pot Bell Pepper Casserole

 Remember when I made the yummy Stuffed Bell Peppers? Well I had a bunch of little peppers so I decided to try the same recipe with them only in the crock pot and without stuffing them. So, I made the same recipe but cut up the peppers instead and once again it was delicious and so easy too!

 Remove tops, cut into pieces (no need to remove seeds)

Here is the recipe with the changes.

10 mini bells peppers, tops removed, then cut into small pieces, you can leave the seeds in
1 lb. Ground beef
1 lb. Pork sausage
1 sm. Onion, chopped
1 Tbsp. Garlic, minced
2 tsp. Oregano
3 c. Rice, cooked
2- 8 oz. cans Tomato sauce
1/4 c. Ketchup
Mozzarella cheese

Brown burger, add to crock pot along with all other ingredients except for rice and peppers. Cook on low heat 4-5 hours, add in the rice and peppers the last 45-60 min. of cooking. This way the peppers will have just the right amount of crisp.  Sprinkle cheese on while serving.
