Notes

Storage and freezing

Stuffed pepper soup makes fantastic leftovers for lunch the next day and freezes incredibly well. Just be sure to store the soup and rice separately. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight, warm in the microwave or on the stove, and serve over cooked rice.

Slow cooker stuffed pepper soup

To make in the crockpot, start by browning the ground beef in a skillet. Transfer the cooked ground beef to your slow cooker. Add everything else except for the rice. Cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 6-8 hours. About 30 minutes before serving, cook rice according to package directions. Portion rice into bowls then ladle soup on top.
