I followed this one pretty much to the tee, until my slow cooker was too full to add anymore. I only did about 3 cups of chicken broth and only 1 can (14.5 oz) of diced tomatoes. It also took about 7 hours to cook, I put it on around noon and it was ready by 6:45pm. The peppers were nice and soft and the rice was nicely cooked. Apparently it needed more salt and pepper, but I don't want to over season where it's inedible. Overall, it wasn't bad. I added some shredded cheese overtop of mine. :)
