STUFFED PEPPER CASSEROLE

 

Ingredients:

One pound of ground beef.

Two bell peppers, diced.

One onion, finely diced.

3 cloves of garlic, minced.

One tbsp. of Worcestershire Sauce.

One can (15 oz) of low-sodium beef broth.

One can (15 oz) of diced tomatoes.

One cup of uncooked long-grain white rice.

One tablespoon of Italian seasoning.

One teaspoon of salt.

Half a tsp. of black pepper.

3/4 cup of grated Mozzarella cheese.

3/4 cup of grated Cheddar cheese.

Instructions:

Step 1

First, in a roomy skillet, sauté the ground beef, breaking it apart into smaller pieces as it cooks.

Step 2

And, as the beef is nearing completion, add the onions and bell peppers, then, continue cooking for 5 to 10 minutes or until they become tender.

Step 3

Then, add the minced garlic to the mixture, allowing it to cook for a couple of minutes until its fragrance becomes noticeable.

Step 4

After that, combine the Worcestershire Sauce, beef broth, diced tomatoes, rice, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper into the mixture, and bring the aggregate to a boil even as stirring.

Step 5

Next, once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer, and cover the skillet and let the mixture cook for about 20 minutes, remembering to give it a stir halfway through.

Step 6

When the rice is cooked to your desired tenderness, gently fold in half of the combined cheeses until they melt and blend with the beef and rice.

Step 7

After that, sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Re-cover the skillet and let the cheese melt into a gooey goodness. If you’re short on time and using an oven-safe skillet, you can expedite the cheese melting process by placing the skillet under a broiler.

Step 8

Once the cheese has melted beautifully, remove the skillet from the heat. Finally, serve this delectable dish hot and savor the classic flavors of stuffed peppers in a fraction of the time!

Tips:

– Experiment with different cheese blends for unique flavors.

– Substitute beef with plant-based meat or extra veggies.

– Prep in advance and reheat when needed.

Variations:

– Add chilies, corn, and beans for a twist.

– Include jalapeños or hot sauce for heat.

– Swap rice for cauliflower rice or quinoa.

Have a nice day!!
