Stuffed Pepper Casserole Beef

A hearty casserole dish combining seasoned ground beef, colorful bell peppers, and cheese, perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 450 g ground beef
  • 2 bell peppers, chopped
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 425 g canned low sodium beef broth
  • 425 g canned diced tomatoes
  • 180 g uncooked long grain white rice
  • 75 g shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 75 g shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks until it is mostly browned.
  2. Add the chopped onions and bell peppers to the skillet. Cook for about 5 to 10 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
  3. Incorporate the minced garlic into the skillet, cooking for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, beef broth, diced tomatoes, and uncooked rice. Mix everything thoroughly.
  5. Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, cover the skillet, reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook for 20 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the rice is tender.
  6. Remove the lid and stir in half of the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses until they melt into the mixture.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining cheese evenly over the top. Cover the skillet again, allowing the cheese to melt.
  8. Once melted, remove from heat and serve immediately.

Notes

For a spicy kick, add red pepper flakes. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
