Ingredients

1 package Jimmy Dean® Hearty Original or Hearty Turkey Sausage Crumbles
1 1/2 c. cooked long-grain white rice
1 1/2 c. salsa
1 1/2 c. shredded Mexican cheese blend
1/2 tsp. salt
6 red, yellow, or green bell peppers

Instructions

Combine sausage, rice, 1 cup of the salsa, and 1 cup of the cheese and salt in a large bowl.
Remove tops from bell peppers; discard tops, seeds, and membranes. If necessary, cut thin slice from bottom of each pepper so it can stand upright. Stuff peppers with sausage mixture.
Spray a 5 to 6 quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Pour remaining 1/2 cup salsa into bottom of slow cooker. Stand peppers upright in cooker; cover. Cook on low setting for 4 to 5 hours or until peppers are tender.
Remove cover; sprinkle tops with 1/2 cup remaining cheese. Cover; cook 5 to 10 minutes or until cheese is melted. Carefully lift out peppers with slotted spoon using tongs support peppers.
