Italian sausage and feta cheese give zest to the rice filling in these tender peppers I've prepared often over the years. When I was married in 1970, slow cookers were the rage. In our home, it's one appliance that's never gone out of style. —Judy Earl, Sarasota, Florida

Ingredients

3 medium sweet red peppers
2 medium sweet yellow peppers
1 jar (14 ounces) spaghetti sauce, divided

2 tablespoons sliced ripe olives
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Cut tops off peppers; chop tops and set aside. Discard stems and seeds; set pepper cups aside. Set aside 3/4 cup spaghetti sauce; pour the remaining sauce into a 5-qt. slow cooker.

In a large bowl, combine the sausage, rice, cheese, onion, tomato, parsley, olives, garlic powder, salt, Italian seasoning, pepper flakes and reserved chopped peppers and spaghetti sauce. Spoon into peppers.
