This One Pan Stuffed Pepper Casserole is the all around perfect meal for a busy night. It comes together so easy and quick. It makes enough to feed a hungry army. And BEST part of all - ONE PAN. Making cleanup a breeze!
Some of our kids don’t like stuffed peppers, but they loved this One Pan Stuffed Pepper Casserole. It’s everything you would get in a stuffed pepper, without the strong green pepper taste overpowering.
Stuffed Peppers were always a favorite growing up. But they were a labor of love cleaning out each green pepper, making the filling, and then stuffing them full to bake. Now you have all of that same delicious flavor in an easy casserole.
But if you love Stuffed Green Peppers, this recipe is so much easier than filling each green pepper. And you can easily add in more diced green pepper to this recipe. It’s easy to adjust to your liking and taste.
One Pan Stuffed Pepper Casserole is also the best way to sneak in some veggies for your kids. You can cover up a lot of the veggies with cheese. They’ll never know that there are tomatoes and green peppers waiting for them under the cheese.

Charlene says:
Great recipe. Very tasty. Two substitutions as it was what I had on hand - used parm cheese instead of cheddar (which I think makes the recipe even better) and I used Italian seasoned tomatoes instead of regular diced tomatoes. When I make it again, I think I’ll make it with these same substitutions. :)

Can you make this *with brown rice.

Momma Cyd says:
Sure, you can easily substitute brown rice for regular rice. You just need to make sure the brown rice is cooked through because cooking times are different with brown rice.
