Meaty Stuffed Pepper Casserole Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat; cook and stir green bell peppers, onion, and garlic in the hot butter until vegetables are slightly soft, 2 minutes. Stir sausage and ground beef into bell pepper mixture; cook until meat is crumbly and browned, stirring often, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain grease. Season mixture with salt, black pepper, oregano, and garlic powder.
• Mix diced tomatoes, rice, tomato paste, and Worcestershire sauce into meat mixture and bring to a simmer; cook until heated through, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Pour mixture into a large baking dish.
• Whisk tomato soup with water in a bowl until smooth; pour soup over meat mixture. Spread Cheddar cheese over casserole.
• Bake in the preheated oven until casserole is heated through and Cheddar cheese is browned and bubbling, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Simmer the garlic with a small amount (2 t) of oil and proceed to brown the ground turkey in a large skillet (you'll be adding other ingredients to it). Add taco seasoning or spices while the meat is still raw.
• Cook rice by adding 2 cups water. It's OK if it's a bit harder than normal because it will cook more in the casserole.
• Prepare 9 x 13 casserole dish by spraying and lining bottom of the pan with pieces of bell pepper. I cut the peppers so that they lie mostly flat, inside facing up.
• Once the meat has browned, add the WHOLE can of black beans, but drain the tomatoes. ***If you do not have prepared black beans, use plain cooked beans and add 1/3 cup water to the mixture to keep it from drying out.
• Mix a couple scoops of rice to the mixture, then pour remaining rice in the casserole dish, on top of the peppers.
• Pour the skillet mixture over the rice.
• Cover with foil and bake at 375 for about 30 minutes. I like to add 1/4 cup water half way through baking to make sure the peppers steam without getting too mushy.
• To serve, sprinkle with your favorite cheese, salsa, fresh tomatoes, onions, lettuce, jalapenos -- .
