Stuffed Pepper Casserole Beef

A comforting one-pot meal that combines ground beef, colorful bell peppers, and zesty tomatoes, topped with melted cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 450 g ground beef
  • 2 bell peppers, chopped
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 425 g canned low sodium beef broth
  • 425 g canned diced tomatoes
  • 180 g uncooked long grain white rice
  • 75 g shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 75 g shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until mostly browned.
  3. Add the chopped onions and bell peppers to the skillet. Continue cooking for 5 to 10 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
  4. Incorporate the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant.
  5. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, beef broth, diced tomatoes, and uncooked rice. Mix thoroughly.
  6. Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a boil. Cover, reduce to a simmer, and cook for 20 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the rice is tender.
  7. Remove the lid and stir in half of the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses until melted into the mixture.
  8. Sprinkle the remaining cheese evenly over the top. Cover and allow the cheese to melt, or place under the grill for rapid melting if your pan is oven-proof.
  9. Remove from heat and serve immediately.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding chopped fresh herbs such as basil or parsley just before serving. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
