Recipe Time...

Tonight I tried out a new recipe for Pizza Stuffed Peppers and boy were they delicious! So, I'm going to share it all of you:

1/2 Cup Orzo pasta

6 bell peppers

1.25lb pkg ground turkey

1/2 Cup diced pepperoni

1 can pizza sauce (15oz.)

1.5 Cups shredded pizza cheese blend.

1/2 Cup water

Cook pasta in boiling water for 3 minutes. It will not be done but that's how you want it because it will continue to cook in crock pot. Drain, rinse with cold water to cool. Drain well.

Cut tops off peppers; remove seeds and membranes.

In a non-stick skillet, cook turkey and pepperoni over medium high heat until turkey is no longer pink. Drain if necessary. Stir in pizza sauce, 1 cup of the shredded cheese and the cooked pasta.

Divide turkey filling among peppers.

Spray 5 to 6 qt. slow cooker with cooking spray. Pour 1/2 cup water into slow cooker. Stand peppers upright in cooker; cover, cook on low about 4-5 hours.

When time is up, top filling with remaining 1/2 Cup shredded cheese. Cover and cook 5 to 10 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. When finished, remove peppers with large slotted spoon using tongs to support peppers.

FYI, I cooked the rest of the box of orzo and added 1/2 can of crushed tomatoes to the pasta as a side dish.

Enjoy!!
