These Slow Cooker Stuffed Peppers are so easy and delicious filled with Mexican seasonings, ground beef, onions, garlic and cauliflower topped with tomato sauce and gooey Colby Jack cheese. Let them slow cook in the crock pot for just 3 - 6 hours.

- ½ tsp cumin
- 7 oz tomato sauce

Instructions
- Dice the onion into small pieces.
