Easy Stuffed Pepper Casserole Recipe

Stuffed peppers are super popular in the warm summer months when fresh produce is in abundance. While I certainly make them for my family in the summer months it’s become a regular rotation on our dinner menu when I started making this variation. This recipe begins on the stovetop and finishes in the oven.

How to Make the Best Stuffed Pepper Casserole Recipe

• Ingredients you’ll need to make this easy Stuffed Pepper Casserole recipe: Lean ground beef, red, green and yellow bell peppers, onion, olive oil, garlic, steak seasoning, Italian seasoning, salt, red pepper flakes, tomato sauce, Rotel tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, rice, shredded colby jack or cheddar cheese and parsley for garnishing.
• Kitchen tools you’ll need: Large skillet, sharp knife and cutting board, measuring cups and spoons and cheese grater.
• You can make this casserole in one skillet if it’s oven safe. If not, make the filling on the stovetop and transfer to a 13 x 9 inch dish for baking.
• I make this most often using ground beef, but you could also use ground turkey or chicken, if preferred.
• What peppers do you use to make stuffed peppers? I love using a variety of brightly colored peppers for this casserole. That said, you can mix it up using your favorite. You can even use those little sweet peppers that come in various colors in a bag in the produce section.
• When it comes to green peppers you can use a green bell pepper, a poblano pepper or throw in some jalapeno pepper for heat, it’s completely up to you.
• You can use any oven safe skillet to make this recipe. Should you plan on going from the stovetop to the oven, you can make it entirely in one pan, too.
• The rice for this casserole should be already cooked before assembling. You can use 2 cups and as much as 3 cups, depending on how much rice you like. Start with 2 cups then add more as desired.
• You can substitute cooked cauliflower rice in place of long grain rice in the same amount to cut carbs. See how to make Cilantro Lime Cauliflower Rice here.
• Store leftover stuffed pepper casserole in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave in single serving potions. You could also freeze leftovers for up to 1 month, Thaw in the refrigerator overnight and reheat.
