πŸ§€ This casserole combines hearty ground beef, rice, and cheese with bell peppers and a flavorful tomato sauce for a comforting and versatile dinner option.

  • Total Time: 1 hour

Ingredients

– 1 pound lean ground beef

– 2 large bell peppers, seeded and diced

– 1 onion, peeled and diced

– 1 and Β½ cups beef broth

– 15 ounces diced tomatoes (fire roasted recommended)

– 1 cup uncooked long grain white rice

– 2 cups shredded cheese (medium cheddar suggested, can substitute with sharp cheddar, Monterey jack, or provolone)

– 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

– 3 cloves garlic, minced

– 1 and Β½ teaspoons grill seasoning

– Β½ teaspoon salt

– Β½ teaspoon black pepper

– Β½ teaspoon smoked paprika (regular paprika can be used as substitute)

Instructions

1-Getting started with this stuffed pepper casserole beef is straightforward and fun: Begin by preheating your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and greasing a 9Γ—13 casserole dish with nonstick spray. This sets the stage for a dish that’s full of flavor and easy to assemble.

2-In a large pan over medium heat, brown the 1 pound of lean ground beef until it’s fully cooked. Once that’s done, add the diced bell peppers and onion, cooking them together until they soften. This step builds a solid base of flavors that make the casserole stand out.

3-Next, stir in the minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, paprika, and grill seasoning to amp up the taste. Then, mix in the beef broth, diced tomatoes, uncooked rice, and 1 and Β½ cups of shredded cheese, saving the rest for the top. Pour everything into your prepared dish, add the remaining cheese, and cover with foil.

4-Detailed Cooking Steps: Bake the casserole for about 45 minutes, checking until the liquid is absorbed and the cheese is melted and bubbly. If you want a golden top, remove the foil and broil for 3-5 minutes. Let it rest for 10 minutes before serving to let the flavors settle.

Notes

⏲️ If using brown rice, increase cooking time to about 1 hour and reduce broth slightly to avoid soupy texture.
🌈 Use various bell pepper colors for a vibrant dish.
❄️ To freeze, prepare casserole without topping cheese, freeze well, then thaw and add cheese before baking.
