Happy Crocktober!! Fall comfort food = DONE 🙌
This crockpot pepper soup is a lifesaver for busy moms (and a hit with the whole family!). I swapped rice for chopped cauliflower to keep it lighter, but you can make it either way. 🍲

✨ Recipe ✨
• 2 cans tomato sauce
• 1 can diced tomatoes
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 cup water
• 2 large peppers, diced
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• 1 cup cauliflower (or rice)
• 1 -2 lbs cooked ground beef
👉 Toss it all in the crockpot on HIGH for 3 hours. Serve with Italian butter bread or crackers. SO easy, SO good.

Would you try it with cauliflower or rice? ⬇️✨ Save this recipe for those nights you need something simple + delicious.
