    If you want to freeze them, cook first? Then frreze, thaw when ready to eat and warm in microwave?

  2. If i bought peppers too small, can I just use a couple extra ones so that I can use all the filling? I’d have 8 instead of six. I’m gonna try it…

    1. Also, if I did this, would I need extra stock? I’m going to go with the low setting for eight hours.

    2. No, I think the same amount of stock should be fine 🙂

    3. Yep that should work fine 🙂

  3. Hi! Quick question, do you stack the peppers in the crockpot? My crockpot wont fit all 6 side by side I don’t think…
    Thanks!

    1. No ,I didn’t stack mine. What size is your crockpot?

    2. I’m not sure, I can’t find anything on it that says. I would assume its a medium to large sized one. I only got 5 peppers just in case…starting to make it now, so excited! I’m using ground turkey by the way so hopefully it turns out well 🙂 Thanks so much for the recipe!

  4. One more question…most of time the low and longer setting works best, is that the case for this? I found this too late in the day to cook for 8 hrs, should I just wait until tomorrow and do it the best way (low for 8 hrs)???
    Thanks!
