Stuffed Pepper Soup in the Crock Pot

 


Since I had an abundance of green peppers from my garden this year I decided to make Stuffed Pepper Soup. I changed up the recipie some, I used 6 green peppers, 2 lbs of ground beef, beef stock instead of chicken, and I had loads of my own tomatoes too so I diced them up and then only needed 1 can of diced tomatoes. You can also make a vegetarian version using no meat and vegtable broth instead. These photos are the before and after cooking. As you can see I used red onion instead of yellow as they were cheaper. I also used garlic from a jar that I had in fridge. Never be afraid to substitue and use the things you have on hand.

I did not use the jalapenos and I had put in too much cilantro so we had to fish that out halfway as it was too bitter but other than that we love this and will make it again! Also I have substituted white cheddar cheese for the Cotija cheese on top and IMO it's just as good.

Slow Cooker Turkey Breast

I tried this one yesterday and was very pleased with how it came out. I didnt like the onion smell in my house though so will leave them out next time but its a preference thing.

.
Ingredients
1 (6-9 lb) boneless turkey breast
1 (1 oz) packet dry onion soup mix
¾ cup water
1 onion, diced
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1 tablespoon seasoned salt
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried basil
Directions
Spray slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray and place turkey and diced onions inside. In a small bowl, mix together the water and onion soup mix and spread evenly over turkey.
In another small bowl, mix together remaining ingredients and sprinkle over the turkey breast.
Cook on low for 8-9 hours (or until turkey is very tender and the seasonings have flavored the meat). Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the breast and make sure it reads at least 165 degrees F (75 degrees C) to ensure that your turkey is fully-cooked.
To eat, remove turkey from slow cooker and slice
