stuffed green peppers- crock pot style

4 large green peppers
2 large cans of crushed tomatoes
1 small can of tomato paste
3 small onions diced
1 can mushrooms
1 packet spaghetti mix
1 1/2 pounds of hamburger
1 shredded zuchinni
4 tablespoons crushed garlic
wheat pasta
----------------------------------------------
Line crock pot with liner. Slice off tops of green peppers, removing seeds and ribs as much as possible. Dice available pepper from "lid". combine with shredded zuchinni, 1/2 of onion and hamburger.
In seperate bowl, mix tomatoes, garlic, the rest of the onion, mushrooms, tomato paste and cans of tomatoes.  Add Spaghetti seasoning.  Add a few spoonfuls of tomato mixture to hamburger mixture, just until slightly moist.
pour 1/3 of tomato mixture into bottom of crock pot. Nestle peppers upright in sauce. Stuff peppers with hamburger mixture. Pour reserved sauce over all.  Cook on high for 2 hours and then lower temp to low for 8 hours.  Serve with wheat pasta of choice.

Turned out slightly watery.  Not sure if it was the canned tomato's or the water from the Bell peppers. Next time I will add more tomato paste and another packet of spaghetti seasoning.
