Directions
-
Preheat your slow cooker. Wash the peppers, slice off the tops, and remove seeds and membranes.
-
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground chuck. Drain excess grease thoroughly.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the browned beef, frozen corn, tomato sauce, salt, garlic salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and chopped onion. Stir until well blended.
-
Fill each pepper cavity about two-thirds full with the beef mixture, packing it down gently.
-
Pour 3 tablespoons of water into the bottom of the crock pot to prevent sticking.
-
Arrange the stuffed peppers upright in the slow cooker, nesting them close together for support.
-
Spoon the ketchup evenly over the top of each pepper.
-
Cover and cook on Low for 7-9 hours or on High for 3-4 hours, until peppers are tender.
-
Sprinkle with shredded cheddar or Swiss cheese during the last 30 minutes of cooking if desired, then serve hot.
