Healthy Stuffed Pepper Casserole with Cheddar

turkey breast

onion

salt

pepper

large bell peppers, chopped

(28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes

brown rice

oregano

garlic powder

cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 350°F.

In a large high-sided skillet, add ground turkey and onions and season with salt and pepper. (I use a non-stick skillet. If you don’t, you might want to add a teaspoon or two of olive oil.) Cook, breaking up ground turkey, until turkey is cooked through and browned.

Add to a 9×13 casserole dish and add all other ingredients except cheese. Stir to combine. Cover tightly with foil. Bake for 75 minutes to 90 minutes or until rice is tender. Remove foil, add cheese and bake for about 5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted and bubbling.

How to make: THE BEST STUFFED PEPPER CASSEROLE

Stuffed pepper casserole made with spiced ground beef, peppers, onion, rice, and smothered in melty cheese is a win every time!

sweet bell peppers (any color, chopped)

tomatoes (15 ounces, undrained)

tomato paste (6 ounces)

Worcestershire sauce

instant rice

mozzarella cheese

In a large skillet, brown the ground beef, then drain excess liquid. Add the bell peppers, onion, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper to your skillet. Continue cooking over medium heat, until the onion is translucent.  Remove from heat.

Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce and beef broth. Turn off heat and stir in the rice.

Transfer the beef and rice mixture into a 9x13 inch casserole dish and cover very tightly with foil. Bake at 375°F for 35 to 40 minutes.

Remove the foil and sprinkle the shredded mozzarella over the top of the casserole. Return to oven and cook an additional 5 to 10 minutes, until the cheese has melted.

Stuffed Pepper Casserole is a one-pan meal that has all the delicious, savory flavors of stuffed peppers, without any of the fancy prep work.

beef (lean)

red bell pepper (diced)

green bell pepper (diced)

Italian seasoning (or cajun seasoning)

shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or both)

parsley (for garnish)

Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C. In a pan, or in a heat resistant skillet over medium-high heat and heat olive oil, and add ground beef.

Saute while breaking it with a spatula until it’s no longer pink. Drain the fat, then add the onion, and bell peppers. Cook for 2-3 minutes.

Add garlic, seasoning, worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. And cook for 30 seconds. Add diced tomatoes and stir it in.

Add rice, and beef broth. Stir and bring to a boil, then cover with a lid (or foil if using a casserole dish that doesn’t have a lid).

Place in the oven for 20-25 minutes. It’s ready to be removed when the rice is cooked through (I try the rice and see if it still has a crunch). If not, return to the oven and add a splash of water IF necessary.

Remove from the oven, and sprinkle with cheese.

Then return to the oven and place under the broiler for 3-5 minutes or until the cheese has melted and bubbly. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve.

While the liquid is heating up, add the onion, bell peppers, lentils, garlic, and rice to the casserole dish. Use your hands to separate and sprinkle the thawed spinach over the veggies, then mix together with a spatula until everything is evenly combined.

Vegan Stuffed Pepper Casserole

This stuffed pepper casserole recipe will be in our family menu plan from now on! It&#39;s become a favorite, and I love that I can make it with chicken, or meat-free, depending on how we feel. Step-by-step photos can be seen below the recipe card.

Stuffed Pepper Casserole Recipe

low-fat cream cheese ((2 bricks))

taco seasoning (store-bought or homemade (1 packet))

corn (drained and rinsed (1 can))

black beans (drained and rinsed (1 can))

tomatoes (drained (1 can))

green chiles ((1 can))

red enchilada sauce

cilantro (plus more for garnish)

white rice

mozzarella cheese (divided)

cheddar cheese (divided)

green bell peppers

red bell peppers

Preheat

Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a large baking dish with nonstick spray. I used a 10-inch round dish, but you can also use a 9x13.

Heat

In a large microwave-safe bowl, heat the cream cheese in the microwave for 30-40 seconds, or until softened.

Mix in the taco seasoning, corn, beans, tomatoes, chiles, enchilada sauce, and cilantro. Stir to combine. Stir in the rice and ½ cup of each of the cheeses until fully combined. Set aside.

Layer

Start by making a layer of the green peppers along the bottom of the dish.

Smooth

Top with half of the rice mixture, and use a spoon to smooth out as much as possible.

Layer in the red peppers and top with last half of the rice mixture.

Top with the remaining ½ cup of each of the cheeses and sprinkle with more cilantro.

Bake for 30 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and melted and the casserole is fully heated through.

Garnish

Remove from the oven and top with more cilantro and diced tomatoes. Serve immediately.

OMG!!!! Sooooo delicious!!! I had so many peppers left over from what I bought to dehydrated so I needed to find a recipe that used a lot, and this was it! I made a few modifications based on what I had &amp; my preferences…. Like half the rice (I like ALOT of veggies), didn’t have cream cheese so I used sour cream, no enchilada sauce so just water with some more seasoning. I also roasted the peppers while I was prepping the remaining items since I like them kinda soft and just mixed everything into the dish. This was so delicious!!! A keeper for my meal prep ☺️

My husband and I really enjoyed this.  I did modify the recipe by adding ground beef.  Also I had buffalo chicken dip that needed to be used up.  The more the merrier, used two cans of enchilada sauce.  The only problem I had was that the peppers in the center did not get done.  Next time, I will put them all on the bottom layer.  Thank you for a great recipe.

This was an easy bake and good way to use up cream cheese that was approaching expiration.  My teen daughter loved it.  My partner and I thought it was "fine" but not good enough that it was worth all the calories.  Thanks for something new to try though!

This was delightful, with the cream cheese mixture perfect for the sweetness of the peppers. I used a 13x9 baking pan so next time might include one more of each color pepper for even better cover. In any case, I'll definitely be making this again!

Sounds spectacular and I can't wait to make it! I've enjoyed several of your recipes for other meals and been so happy with them. I will 1/2 the recipe because I cook in a toaster oven. Don't have a regular stove. It works out.  I do love all the veggies in it too. Have some Pallo Asado to ad to it. Thank You for the mouthwatering recipe  :)

This is very good, it's really is at least a 4+.

I use my frozen peppers from my garden last summer . I didn't let them throw out .

I grew some poblanos last summer and decided to do the same thing. I also wrapped them in bacon then baked them. My wife loved them, but I had issues with the skins. Your suggestions for softening probably would have solcved that issue for me. Thanks.

Really good I used a recipe for Spanish rice in another recipe they have and it’s pretty tasty

10/10!!!!! Easy and delicious! Affordable ingredients!! This will be a staple of mine!

So tasty!!!!!  Added a little more chili powder but otherwise did as is. So good
