***Preparation option: I have made this recipe two ways, I have prepared the these peppers two ways. The first option is to place the bell peppers in the slow cooker (as listed in the recipe. This is a no-fuss option and is great if you want to skip an extra step. However, the peppers are much more tender when prepared this way and very soft. If you prefer your peppers to be on the firmer side when served follow this suggestion:
Do not place peppers in the slow cooker. Add other ingredients (the quinoa, salsa, etc) and mix in the slow cooker. Follow same cooking time. 30 minutes before serving, place cut peppers on a baking sheet and bake for about 20 minutes at 400 degrees. Stuff the peppers with the quinoa mixture, top with cheese, and return to oven for 5-10 minutes until cheese is melty, then serve.
