I love those recipes that we all grew up with, they are just too good to miss out on.Stuffed Pepper Soup is so delicious and hearty, it makes the perfect family meal on a chilly day!

When the leaves start to fall and the air turns nippy, who doesn’t love to come home from a hard day of work or play to a hearty bowl of red pepper soup that’s chock full of savory seasoned beef? You never know who might come by the house unexpectedly and this fantastic slow cooker dish makes setting an extra place or two at the table easy-peasy.

All of the ingredients of a traditionally stuffed pepper are still used in this recipe, but you get to skip the time-consuming steps of stuffing a whole bunch of peppers. We also love the gorgeous, deep red color of this soup and how simple ground beef makes this dish a real meal – trust us, this fills you up!
