Directions

1 Place Reynolds™ Slow Cooker Liners inside a 5- to 6 1/2 -qt slow cooker bowl. Make sure that liner fits snugly against the bottom and sides of bowl and pull the top of the liner over rim of bowl.
2 Cut thin slice from stem end of each bell pepper to remove top of pepper. Remove seeds and membranes; rinse peppers.
3 In 10-inch skillet, cook beef, onion and garlic over medium heat about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beef is brown; drain. Stir in tomato sauce, salt, cumin, cinnamon and red pepper. Stir in couscous. Divide beef mixture evenly among peppers.
4 Pour water into lined slow cooker; stand peppers upright in cooker.
5 Cover and cook on low heat setting 4 to 6 hours or until peppers are tender. Garnish with pine nuts and cilantro.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Serve food directly from the lined slow cooker. Once your slow cooker cools, remove the liner and throw away for easy clean up.

Serve with flatbread and grape clusters.

Cumin offers a strongly fragrant and slightly smoky flavor.

I really enjoyed this meal, and even my husband said he was pleasantly surprised! (He had a sandwich on stand by, lol!) I cooked the peppers in the crock pot on high for two hours and the peppers were perfectly tender and the couscous was nice and fluffy! The spices were just right, it didn't seem bland at all.

We enjoyed this meal; however, I substitued the couscous with peas. The cinnamon is the key...it added an extra special flavor.

After adding more seasonings than the recipe called for, this actually turned out pretty good. If you follow the recipe, I''m pretty sure it will be a little bland. I also cooked them in the oven instead of a slow cooker.
