How long do you cook stuffed peppers in a crockpot?

I cook mine on low for 6 hours. The peppers come out tender and the rice is cooked through.

Do I need to cook the rice or brown the beef first?

No. The raw beef and uncooked rice go right into the peppers and cook in the tomato soup.

Yes. We have frozen double batches many times. Let them cool first, then freeze them in an airtight container with some of the sauce.

A 6 quart crockpot holds about 8 peppers in a single layer.
