Is the rice supposed to be cooked prior to stuffing the peppers? After 8-10 hours in the crockpot the rice was still hard.
No. I did not cook my rice first. Sorry I am not sure why your rice did not cook all the way through. 8 hours in a crock-pot should make the rice done.
I’ve tried this twice now and both times the center of still raw meat.
I am sorry this recipe did not work out for you Matt. You may need to cook it longer as each slow cooker cooks just a little bit differently.
