This dish, which comes together in under 20 minutes, makes the perfect accompaniment for outdoor movie night. A slow cooker can be a busy cook’s best friend in the summer. This make-ahead dinner takes just 5 minutes to pull together in the morning and then simmers all day while you’re out having summer fun. I can’t think of anything more comforting than a juicy beef pot roast, and you’d be surprised at how your slow cooker makes this recipe incredibly easy.

Without the need to wrap or fry, this veggie-packed meal comes together in well under an hour. Garnish with crispy raw scallions, toasted sesame seeds, and plenty of sriracha or chili oil. Bell peppers are strong enough to hold their shape in the oven, and the flavor is subtle enough to go well with just about anything. This is our favorite recipe, but the customization options are endless—check out all our stuffed pepper recipes here too.
