Stuffed Pepper Casserole

 


We love stuffed peppers and we always use Spanish Rice for the stuffing...so... to make it even easier we've turned it into a casserole!  It was so very scrumptious!  





Stuffed Pepper Casserole

• 1 lb pound ground beef
• 2 small green peppers or 1 large, coarsely chopped
• salt to taste
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 pkg Spanish Rice, cooked
• 1 1/2 C  mozzarella cheese, divided
• 1 1/2 cup Mexican cheese, divided

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  
Cook meat, onions and minced garlic in frying pan; drain.

Cook the Spanish Rice per package directions 
and add the chopped peppers.  

After the rice is done (about 15 minutes), 
stir in the meat and onion mixture.
Add 1/2 cup each of the cheese.  Stir until combined.

Add remaining cheese on top.
Place a piece of foil lightly over the casserole 
but do not press onto the cheese.

Bake for 25 minutes or until the cheese is all melted. 
Let sit 5 minutes before serving.
