How To Make stuffed pepper casserole

  • Step 1
    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease 9×13 inch (or equivalent sized) dish
  • Step 2
    In a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat brown the ground beef. When the ground beef is about halfway browned add the onion, red bell pepper, and orange bell pepper. Cook until the onions are soft and the peppers are starting to soften. Drain any excess grease. Reduce the heat to low and add the garlic, chili powder, ground cumin, kosher salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes cooking for 1 minute while stirring.
  • Step 3
    Remove from the heat. Whisk together the tomato paste and 1 cup beef broth. Add the tomato paste mixture, remaining beef broth, fire roasted tomatoes, and rice to the skillet and stir to combine. If not using a Dutch oven or ovenproof skillet then spoon it into the prepared baking dish. Top with Monterey Jack and cheddar cheese.
  • Step 4
    Cover the casserole, pot, or skillet with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour. Remove the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes or until the rice is tender.
