This dish captures all the classic flavors of <a href=\"https:\/\/cravinghomecooked.com\/southwestern-style-stuffed-peppers\/\">stuffed peppers<\/a> but skips the part where we meticulously fill each pepper. It&#8217;s like the laid-back sibling of the traditional recipe, equally delicious but way less demanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have a soft spot for stuffed anything (who doesn&#8217;t love food stuffed with more food?), but let&#8217;s be honest\u2014sometimes we just don&#8217;t have the time or patience. That&#8217;s when this casserole swoops in to save dinner. It&#8217;s hearty, cheesy, and comes together in one skillet. Fewer dishes to wash?

They hold up well and won&#8217;t turn mushy during cooking. Avoid instant rice\u2014it can get too soft and affect the texture.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Prep Your Ingredients First<\/strong>: Dice the onions, mince the garlic, and chop the bell peppers before you start cooking. Having everything ready makes the process so much easier.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use an Oven-Safe Skillet<\/strong>: If you have a cast-iron skillet, this is the time to use it. Cooking everything in one pan that can go from stovetop to oven saves time and reduces cleanup.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Keep an Eye on the Liquid<\/strong>: When simmering, if the mixture looks too dry before the rice is fully cooked, add a little more beef broth or water (about \u00bd cup). This will keep your casserole nice and moist.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Let It Rest<\/strong>: Allow the casserole to sit for a few minutes after baking. This helps it set, making it easier to serve and enhancing the flavors.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"featured-content style-check block-ingredients\">\n\n\t<div class=\"wrap\">\n\n\t\t<div class=\"section-image\">\n\n\t\n\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/cravinghomecooked.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/stuffed-pepper-casserole-ingredients.jpg\" class=\"attachment-placement-section size-placement-section entry-image\" alt=\"ingredients needed to make stuffed pepper casserole.\" data-pin-nopin=\"nopin\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cravinghomecooked.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/stuffed-pepper-casserole-ingredients.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/cravinghomecooked.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/stuffed-pepper-casserole-ingredients-768x614.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cravinghomecooked.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/stuffed-pepper-casserole-ingredients-750x600.jpg 750w, https:\/\/cravinghomecooked.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/stuffed-pepper-casserole-ingredients-175x140.jpg 175w, https:\/\/cravinghomecooked.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/stuffed-pepper-casserole-ingredients-730x584.jpg 730w, https:\/\/cravinghomecooked.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/stuffed-pepper-casserole-ingredients-400x320.jpg 400w, https:\/\/cravinghomecooked.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/stuffed-pepper-casserole-ingredients-200x160.jpg 200w, https:\/\/cravinghomecooked.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/stuffed-pepper-casserole-ingredients-180x144.jpg 180w, https:\/\/cravinghomecooked.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/stuffed-pepper-casserole-ingredients-177x142.jpg 177w, https:\/\/cravinghomecooked.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/stuffed-pepper-casserole-ingredients-150x120.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/>\n\t\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"section-content\">\n\n\t\n\t<h2 class=\"section-title\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ingredients_Youll_Need\"><\/span>\n\n\n\t\n\t\tIngredients You&#8217;ll Need\n\t\n\n\t<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"section-description\"><ul>\n<li><strong>Ground Beef<\/strong>: Use extra lean ground beef if you don&#8217;t want to worry about draining grease from the skillet You can substitute it with ground pork, turkey or chicken if you prefer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Onion and Garlic<\/strong>: Diced onion and minced garlic to bring lots of flavor to our casserole.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bell Peppers<\/strong>: Use red, green, yellow, or a mix\u2014whatever you have on hand works great.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Long-Grain Rice (such as jasmine or basmati)<\/strong>: Stick with long-grain varieties to avoid having a mushy casserole; avoid instant rice.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Beef Broth<\/strong>: Opt for low sodium or no sodium broth if possible.

id=\"faq-question-1728587235778\"><summary><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">How Do I Store Leftover Stuffed Pepper Casserole?<\/h3><\/summary> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Allow the casserole to cool completely before storing. Transfer the leftovers into an airtight container and refrigerate within two hours of cooking. You can keep it in the refrigerator for up to <strong>3-4 days<\/strong>.<\/p> <\/details> <details class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1728587310553\"><summary><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I Freeze the Stuffed Pepper Casserole?<\/h3><\/summary> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Absolutely! This casserole freezes well. After it has cooled, portion it into freezer-safe containers or heavy-duty freezer bags. Label them with the date, and you can freeze the casserole for up to <strong>3 months<\/strong>.<\/p> <\/details> <details class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1728587326417\"><summary><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">How Do I Reheat Frozen Casserole Portions?<\/h3><\/summary> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">To reheat, thaw the casserole overnight in the refrigerator. Preheat your oven to <strong>350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C)<\/strong>. Place the casserole in an oven-safe dish, cover with foil to prevent drying out, and bake for <strong>20-25 minutes<\/strong> or until heated through.

Once cooked, remove the skillet from heat and fluff the rice mixture with a fork.<\/span><\/div><div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-media wprm-recipe-instruction-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/cravinghomecooked.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/stuffed-pepper-casserole-process-shots-5-750x375.jpg\" class=\"attachment-placement-recipe-instructions size-placement-recipe-instructions entry-image\" alt=\"process shots showing how to make stuffed pepper casserole.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cravinghomecooked.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/stuffed-pepper-casserole-process-shots-5-750x375.jpg 750w, https:\/\/cravinghomecooked.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/stuffed-pepper-casserole-process-shots-5-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cravinghomecooked.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/stuffed-pepper-casserole-process-shots-5-280x140.jpg 280w, https:\/\/cravinghomecooked.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/stuffed-pepper-casserole-process-shots-5-730x365.jpg 730w, https:\/\/cravinghomecooked.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/stuffed-pepper-casserole-process-shots-5-400x200.jpg 400w, https:\/\/cravinghomecooked.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/stuffed-pepper-casserole-process-shots-5-200x100.jpg 200w, https:\/\/cravinghomecooked.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/stuffed-pepper-casserole-process-shots-5-180x90.jpg 180w, https:\/\/cravinghomecooked.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/stuffed-pepper-casserole-process-shots-5-177x89.jpg 177w, https:\/\/cravinghomecooked.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/stuffed-pepper-casserole-process-shots-5-150x75.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cravinghomecooked.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/stuffed-pepper-casserole-process-shots-5.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1200px) 604px, (min-width: 1080px) 524px, (min-width: 1024px) 504px, (min-width: 768px) calc(100vw - 162px), calc(100vw - 106px)\" \/><\/div> <\/li><li id=\"wprm-recipe-13400-step-0-6\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-text\"><span style=\"display: block;\">Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top of the beef and rice mixture.
