Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 bell peppers diced
  • 1 yellow onion diced
  • 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce 
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 teaspoon Italian
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 ½ cup beef stock
  • 15- ounce diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup rice
  • 2 cups cheese divided

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Prepare a 13 x 9-inch baking dish by spraying it with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Heat a large skillet on medium heat. Add the ground beef and sprinkle with the salt. Cook, stirring, until the meat is browned, about 10 minutes.
  3. Stir in the pepper and onions and cook for another 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic, Worcestershire sauce, pepper, and paprika.
  4. Add the beef stock, tomatoes, uncooked rice, and most of the cheese, reserving ½ cups of cheese for later.
  5. Transfer the mixture to your prepared casserole pan and cover it with aluminum foil.
  6. Put it in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes.
  7. Take the foil off and sprinkle the ½ cup of cheese on top. Turn the oven to broil and broil for 2-3 minutes to melt the cheese.

Notes

  • If you're looking to cut down on the fat, you can opt for ground turkey or ground chicken instead of beef. Or use Italian sausage for a different flavor.
  • Get a little cheesy and mix in some mozzarella cheese or pepper jack for an extra flavor kick in your stuffed pepper casserole.
  • Try brown rice or even quinoa can be great substitutes if you're looking for a twist or a healthier option. You will have to adjust the cooking times.
