Packed with of course bell peppers, tomatoes, rice, seasoned ground beef and more it is full of flavor and a perfect dinner that even my kids love! It’s kinda’ a throw it together one pot meal that you can make as spicy as you like, or add no spice at all (still amazing). Topped with cheese, with cheese inside too (there’s never enough) it’s one of our favorite quick and easy casseroles. (originally published 3/17)



When I married my husband he taught me how to make “his Grandma’s stuffed peppers” because he loved them so much. We all really liked them and it even got my daughters to really like bell peppers because of it.
In the video above I added tomato sauce, in the instructions below I swapped out for spaghetti sauce because it added even more flavor. You can use either one but after a time or two we prefer spaghetti sauce if we have it on hand.

If you have a pressure cooker we also made this Instant Pot pepper casserole you can try, there we did not precook the rice.
You basically precook everything but it all comes together when you pour it into your casserole dish and pop it in the oven. Everything melds together and the flavors really come out then.
