Stuffed peppers have been very popular in our family for some time popular dish. More precisely, from the moment it turned out that this is my husband’s favorite food. Upon arrival to any relatives, we are greeted by peppers. With the advent of the multicooker, I succumbed to the universal love for peppers and make them quickly and with pleasure. For stuffed peppers with meat and rice in a slow cooker, we need very few ingredients...

  • Minced meat 500 grams (I take mixed pork and beef, you can also use chicken, for example)
  • Pepper 8 pieces
  • Carrot 1 piece
  • Onion 1 piece
  • Egg 1 piece
  • Rice 70 grams
  • Salt, spices.

Cooking time: 20 minutes cooking rice + 15 minutes + 1.5-2 hours for the “stewing” program

Servings: 4-6 servings

Method for preparing stuffed peppers in a slow cooker

Let the rice cook and begin preparing for the minced meat. Wash and clean the peppers. Under no circumstances do we throw away the “lid” of the pepper. Leave the peppers alone and finely chop the onion, grate the carrots and chop the “caps” remaining from the peppers. (By the way, you don’t have to chop them or even cut off the green tails - you can stew them together with the peppers, and then use them as decoration - that’s what we’ll do this time.)


Then we do the traditional roasting. A tablespoon of vegetable oil, chopped onion and turn on the “stew” program. After five minutes, add carrots and chopped pepper to the onion, mix thoroughly and leave for another 7-10 minutes.


When the frying is ready, turn off the multicooker and proceed to preparing the minced meat. To do this, mix boiled rice, minced meat, half fried, egg with salt and spices. You need to mix very carefully. The easiest way is in a combine, of course.


Now we fill the peppers with minced meat, carefully place them with a tablespoon and level the top so that there is no slide. Place the resulting peppers in the multicooker pot, preferably in a standing position, so that the minced meat does not leak out during the boiling process. Fill the bowl with water to three-quarters of the way up the pepper. And turn on the “quenching” mode.


If you have a five-liter multicooker and a poor eye, like me, then all the peppers won’t fit in “standing up.” I placed the extra two on top as a second layer. The quality of cooking does not suffer at all from this, because in the multicooker there is uniform heating and the top stuffed peppers are practically steamed.


This dish is extremely easy to prepare and, most importantly, very fast. You can stuff a couple dozen peppers at once and throw them in the freezer. You can stuff already frozen peppers without them losing their shape when cooked.

The pepper cooks quite quickly, I like to leave it on for at least an hour and a half, but you can safely turn it off after an hour.

Best served with sour cream and herbs.

Bon appetit!

    Cooking features by type and brand of multicooker

    Each model has a specific set of functions. Housewives choose for themselves what is more convenient. For example, the Redmond multi-pressure cooker has special mode for pepper. The absence of certain functions can add more work, but in most cases it is possible to find an alternative to them.

    It is very convenient to prepare sauteed vegetables or vegetables for filling using the “Frying” mode. It is present in Philips, Panasonic, Redmond, Polaris multicookers, but Scarlet and Moulinex brand appliances do not have such a function. In this case, you should choose any mode in which the finished dish should not contain a large number of liquids. It could be "Baking", " Quick cooking"or modes for cereals and meat. Note that such options typically require the use of high temperatures. It is better to set a shorter time and repeat the procedure if necessary.


    The “Extinguishing” function is also not available on all models. For example, appliances from the brands Daewoo, Toshiba and others do not have it. You can do without it by cooking stuffed peppers in the “Soup” or “Cooking” modes for 50-60 minutes. But after this a large amount of liquid remains. You can get rid of it by setting the “Frying” or “Baking” mode for 10-15 minutes.

    If it is your custom to stuff and freeze peppers for the winter, it is most convenient to cook them in a Tefal multicooker using the “Paste” mode. It allows you to boil tomato sauce, and then it will be possible to extinguish the preparations. The default time is 8 and 30 minutes for each stage and the temperature is 100 degrees, but these can be changed.

    Homemade stuffed peppers have long captivated many. A slow cooker and recipes with photos and videos will help you make this dish quickly, tasty and without mistakes.

    What you will need:

    - 8-9 pieces of small sweet peppers;
    - one multi-glass of rice;
    - three cloves of garlic;
    - one or two carrots;
    - a small onion;
    - three tomatoes;
    - 350-400 g of “homemade” minced meat;
    - vegetable oil;
    - 100 g sour cream;
    fresh herbs- optional;
    - 20 g flour;
    - spices - to taste.

    What to do:

    To prepare stuffed peppers in a slow cooker, start by processing all the vegetables. Clean the peppers from seeds, but do not throw away the tops with tails, as they will be needed.

    Grate the tomatoes or chop them in a blender; it is not necessary to peel them.


    Finely chop the onion, cut the garlic cloves into several parts.


    Grate the carrots into medium strips.


    Pour a little oil into the Polaris bowl, add onion, grated tomato and carrots (don’t touch the garlic yet), fry on the “fry” mode. You can do it differently by frying/adding vegetables one after the other: onions, then carrots and tomatoes. After which part prepared vegetables leave in the bowl and transfer the other to a small bowl.


    In a small filling bowl, combine the raw cereal with the minced meat and mix well.


    Then add the reserved vegetables and spices/seasonings, stir again.


    Fill the peppers with minced meat and place in the slow cooker on a bed of onions and carrots.


    I apologize for the slight digression, but it was at that moment that the idea came to me to stuff more zucchini. If you want to follow my example, then do not peel the young fruits, but simply remove the pulp, leaving the bottom. You will get these kind of cups.


    So, you put the stuffed peppers (and zucchini) into the Polaris slow cooker.


    Now prepare the filling. Estimate approximately how much water you will need to cover the peppers, but even if it’s not enough, it’s okay. The vegetables will still be cooked well. Dissolve sour cream in water, add a little salt and other spices, taking into account that they are already in the filling. Add flour and stir again.


    Pour the sauce over the vegetables in the slow cooker, throw chopped garlic on top, add whole sprigs of parsley or dill, or maybe both. Again, the greens can be chopped if desired.


    Close the pan and start the “stew” program. In an hour and a half, the peppers stuffed with rice and meat in the Polaris slow cooker will be ready. You can also cook it using the “baking” program.


    Stuffed vegetables stewed in sour cream sauce turn out very tasty and tender. They should be served with the sauce in which the peppers were stewed. Eaten hot.


    And finally... the recipe for stuffed peppers in the Polaris slow cooker is suitable not only for any miracle saucepan, but can also be easily adapted to cooking on the stove.
