I usually make my stuffed peppers with rice, and I use uncooked rice. I've seen recipes calling for both uncooked and `cooked to package directions'. On top of that today I'll be using ground buffalo instead of ground beef, which is a bit of a leaner meat so I'm worried it will be even more dry. What are my best options to moisten them up a bit? Will cooking the rice first (I've never tried this) accomplish this? Will cooked rice mix in to the raw meat mix ok? Would adding something else be better? Perhaps honey or molasses or an egg or two? Any ideas would be appreciated. Also I'm probably going to be doing this in the slow cooker, will that alone help? I usually bake them.
