Stuffed Peppers



Ok. So today I am attempting to make stuffed peppers in the slow cooker! It seems like a pretty easy and healthy recipe! Plus, I think I really want to start use the crock pot more often.

Basically all you need is some ground meat, onion, garlic, parsley, mozzarella cheese, peppers (obvi) and some broth. Mix the stuff up, stuff it in the peppers, top them with some crushed tomatoes, put them in the slow cooker and add the broth to the bottom as a nice little bath.

7 hours later, I should have a masterpiece!

Here's the first pics...I'll keep you posted on how it turns out!

Here's the final product...Tex Mex Pizza!

Tex Mex Pizza

Ok. So today is Sunday. Football is on. I wanted to make something for the occasion. Today I chose Tex Mex pizza. I saw a recipe for Black Bean Nacho pizza on delish.com and this is my version of it.

I used Pillsbury pizza dough, love it...it's soo easy! I also got some ground turkey meat and browned it, then added taco seasoning. So to the pizza I put on tomato sauce, the meat, black beans, some green chilis, diced tomato, and you got it...cheese!

From the photo you can see this pizza looks fabulous!! However it was a little gooey towards the middle. Not sure if it was a dough prob or just that the ingredients were too wet. I cooked it according to the directions, so I don't think that's it.

Well, it sure tastes good anyway...but I guess I have a ways to go before I am fabulous in the kitchen!!
