Stuffed Pepper Casserole

Cook Time 1 hour
Total Time 1 hour
Servings 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 pound 90% lean ground beef
  • 2 cups diced bell peppers
  • 1/2 cup diced yellow onion
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 3 cloves garlic finely chopped
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 can diced tomatoes undrained
  • 1 8 oz can tomato sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 cup uncooked white basmati rice
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese or cheddar cheese blend

Instructions

  • Add the beef, bell peppers, onion, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently until the beef is browned and the veggies are softened.
  • Add the garlic, stirring until fragrant (about 1 minute).
  • Reduce the heat to medium, and add the beef broth, tomatoes, tomato sauce, and soy sauce. Stir until the mixture is well combined, and heat to a boil.
  • Add the uncooked basmati rice and upon returning to a boil, reduce the heat to low. Cover the Dutch oven and allow to simmer for 25 minutes, or until the rice is tender.
  • Remove the dish from heat, and stir in 1 cup of shredded cheese. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top and cover, allowing the cheese to melt (about 3-5 minutes).
