	Hello Everyone, Here's a personal favorite of mine, made even easier, thanks to my trusty slow cooker. Slow-Cooker Stuffed Peppers 6 large bell peppers 1 1/2 lb lean (at least 80%) ground beef 2 teaspoons olive oil 1/4 cup finely chopped onion 2 cloves finely chopped garlic 1 1/2 cups cooked white rice 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce 1 1/4 cups shredded Cheddar cheese (5 oz) Trim tops off bell peppers; remove ribs and seeds. Set aside. Place beef in large bowl; set aside. In 6-inch skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat; add chopped onion. Cook until onion softens, stirring every few minutes. Add garlic; cook 60 seconds. Remove from the heat; cool slightly. Add rice, salt and pepper to beef. Add cooked onion and garlic; mix to combine. Stuff peppers with beef mixture; arrange in slow cooker. Pour tomato sauce over peppers. Cook on Low heat setting 6 hours; last 30 minutes of cooking, top peppers with cheese. Serves 6. Have A Great Week, Phil

	HI Phil, That sure sounds good, and for once I have all the ingredients So I will try it in the next few days. Always nice to have something planned ahead. So many times I have saved recipes, needed an ingredient, didn't write it down. Thinking I know what it was and then when I was ready to make it I was missing something, because I got the wrong item. So frustrating.
	LOVE IS THE ANSWER

	Hello Myrna, Thanks for stopping by to visit and thanks for your kind comments. It is indeed frustrating not to have an ingredient you need when you've got a "taste" for a particular dish. Since today is Super Bowl Sunday, here's a tasty, relatively low-sodium, cheesy dip made with Old El Paso® refried beans and green chilies and served with served with tortilla chips - perfect if you love Mexican cuisine. Slow Cooker Cheesy Bean Dip Ingredients Reynolds™ Slow Cooker Liners 1 package (16 ounces) mild Mexican pasteurized prepared cheese product with jalapeño peppers, cut into cubes 1 can (16 ounces) Old El Paso™ refried beans 1 can (4.5 ounces) Old El Paso™ chopped green chiles, undrained 2 pounds tortilla chips, if desired Directions Place Reynolds™ Slow Cooker Liners inside a 5- to 6 1/2 -qt slow cooker bowl. Make sure that liner fits snugly against the bottom and sides of bowl and pull the top of the liner over rim of bowl. Mix cheese, beans and chiles in cooker. Cover and cook on Low heat setting 2 to 3 hours or until cheese is melted. Stir until cheese is smooth. Scrape down side of cooker with rubber spatula to help prevent edge of dip from scorching. Serve with tortilla chips. Dip will hold on Low heat setting up to 2 hours; stir occasionally.
