Stuffed Pepper Casserole

Seasoned ground beef, rice, and bell peppers are simmered in a rich tomato broth and topped with loads of melty mozzarella cheese for the ultimate stuffed pepper casserole.

Ingredients :
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 to 2 ¼ cups diced bell pepper red, green and/or yellow
  • 2 cups beef broth more as needed
  • 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes with juices, 1 can
  • 1 ½ cups tomato sauce
  • 3 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 cup basmati rice uncooked
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Directions :
  1. In a 3.5QT Dutch oven or saucepan, brown beef with onion and garlic until no pink remains over medium-high heat. Drain excess fat.
  2. Add peppers, beef broth, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, rice, Italian seasoning, and salt & pepper to taste.
  3. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer and cover. Simmer 25 minutes or until rice is tender. (Add more beef broth if needed).
  4. Once rice is tender, top with cheese and cover with a lid until melted. Optionally, broil in the oven to brown the cheese for 2-3 minutes.
