If you love stuffed peppers, then you’re going to love this recipe! It has the same flavors, but is easier and less time consuming. I guess you can just call it an “Unstuffed Pepper Casserole”!
INGREDIENTS
Avocado oil cooking spray (I use @chosenfoods)
1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 lb ground beef
3 medium green bell peppers, seeded and diced
1 small white onion, diced
3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
1 1/2 cups beef broth (I use @kettleandfire)
1 cup rice (I use original @rightrice)
1 (14.5 oz) can diced fire roasted tomatoes, undrained
1/2 cup tomato sauce
3 Tbsp tomato paste
1 tsp salt
1 tsp fresh black pepper
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded off the block (I use @organicvalley)
Fresh parsley, for garnish
HOW TO MAKE
-Preheat oven to 350, and grease a 9x13 casserole dish.
-Brown ground beef in a large, deep skillet.
-In the same skillet, add the onion and bell peppers. Cook until soft.
