Stuffed Pepper Casserole
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef or turkey
- 1 cup rice, uncooked
- 3 cups bell peppers, diced (red, green, yellow)
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cups diced tomatoes (canned or fresh)
- 2 cups beef or vegetable broth
- 1 tsp garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheese (optional)
Directions:
1. Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
2. Grab a large skillet and brown the ground beef or turkey over medium heat until cooked through.
3. Toss in the diced onion and bell peppers, letting them cook until they’re nice and soft.
4. Stir in the minced garlic, diced tomatoes, uncooked rice, broth, and add in the Italian seasoning. Don’t forget a pinch of salt and pepper!
5. Let the mixture come to a gentle boil, then lower the heat and allow it to simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the rice has cooked.
6. Once that’s looking good, pour the tasty mixture into a greased casserole dish.
7. If you'd like, sprinkle some shredded cheese on top for a gooey touch.
8. Pop it in the oven for about 20-25 minutes until it’s all warmed through and the cheese is melty and bubbly.
9. Dish it out hot and enjoy every delicious bite!
