    Quinoa Stuffed Bell Peppers (in the Slow Cooker)

    I absolutely love quinoa – it’s super versatile and so good for you! And I also love my slow cooker! It makes cooking so easy, especially in the winter. I mean how great is it to come home after a long day and have a delicious and comforting meal waiting for you in your slow cooker? You need only 10 minutes to make these quinoa stuffed bell peppers with black beans. Your slow cooker is then doing the rest for you. I know 10 minutes sound crazy for stuffed peppers, but you use uncooked quinoa for these quinoa stuffed bell peppers. No need to precook it!

    Health Benefits of Quinoa

    Quinoa got so many health benefits! It’s:

    • extremely nutritious (it’s packed with proteins (8 grams of protein per one cup of quinoa) and quinoa is a complete plant-based protein (it got all of the essential amino acids!))
    • very high in fiber, in fact much higher than most grains
    • gluten-free, which makes it perfect for people who suffer from a gluten intolerance
    • a good source of important minerals like iron and magnesium
    • very high in antioxidants

      This looked like such a great recipe. I’m not sure if creators of these recipes appreciate changes or not but I did make a couple. I chopped about half of the tops of the peppers and sautéed with some onion and added to the mixture. I also added about 1/2 cup or so of corn. Best stuffed peppers ever.
