A cousin made this for a holiday get together and I just had to have the recipe. It tastes like stuffed bell peppers but in a casserole instead. I cooked this in my favorite Texas Skillet before adding to baking pans. It is perfect for gatherings, potlucks, and holidays, or an evening meal. I have brought this a few times to gatherings and the pan is always empty by the end of the evening. It's sure to be a hit with guests! I used 2 ½ lbs of meat because I usually just chop a 5 lb roll in half to make 2 separate meals. You can use just 2lbs. This will easily make 2 - 13x9 dishes which is great for large families.

One of my family's favorites (L)Makes a whole lot of food - we love the leftovers :hungry

I love stuffed peppers so when I saw a recipe in Chili Pepper Madness for a stuffed pepper casserole I had to try it and it was great. I use more rice and double the cheese. Like any casserole you can modify the recipe using different ground meats or vegetables. It has everything you need for a meal; protein, vegetables and a starch. Although it does go great with a salad.

quick easy meal. Super delicious!!!!

I love stuffed peppers, but hate how long they take to prepare! This dish doesn't have the same presentation, but tastes just as good as stuffed peppers - with less work!

Very, very good!! I'm going to use less tomato sauce next time though because it was a bit runny but was still delicious!!

This has all the yummy flavors of classic stuffed peppers, but with much less hassle. And if your kids are picky as mine can be sometimes, then this will be a bit more appealing to them than a whole stuffed pepper. Because it uses brown rice, it does take a bit longer to cook, but it's mostly hands off time. You could also use quinoa or long grain white rice, just adjust the cooking time.

The only casserole my hubs will eat. It’s got meat, veggies and taters. What more could a “meat and potatoes man” want?#GlobalApron 2024

Who doesn't like green bean casserole right?! Well that would be my mother-in-law. Actually despises it! Which is why I bring it to every holiday. 😁 Actually it is a family joke. She told me I couldn't show up for Thanksgiving if I brought green bean casserole. I did...and the rest is history. #heirloom
