This was a great way to use up leftover rice. I found this recipe as an alternative to stuffed peppers, but much faster. This is tasty and fast to make with ingredients you have on hand. Recipe courtesy of All You May 2013 and Whitney Coy of Lancaster, Ohio.

Time 55m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb sweet sausage (casings removed) or 1 lb hot Italian sausage (casings removed)
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 large green bell peppers, seeded and chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
29 ounces tomatoes (with juice)
45 ounces tomato sauce
30 ounces corn, drained
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (I used fresh garlic)
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3 cups white rice, cooked
2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. (I skipped this step and found I didn't need to worry about anything spilling anywhere by using a larger pan).
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, cook sausage, stirring to break up chunks, until browned, 4 or 5 minutes. Put in bowl and wipe out skillet.
  • Warm oil in skillet over medium heat. Add bell peppers and onion and cook, stirring, until peppers are just tender.
  • Stir in sausage, tomatoes, tomato sauce, corn, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Turn heat to high and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 10 minutes, stirring once. Add rice.
  • Pour mixture into a 9x13inch baking dish and place on baking sheet. (I found by putting the entire mixture into an 11x14" pan there was enough room, and I didn't need to dirty another dish or waste foil).
  • Bake until bubbly, about 30 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and sprinkle with cheddar.
  • Return to oven and bake until cheese melts, about 3 to 5 minutes longer.
  • Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

STUFFED GREEN PEPPER CASSEROLE

It has all the basic ingredients for a yummy one dish meal the whole family will love! I think it can be customized such as serve all meat and vegetable ingredients over the rice instead of mixed with it. Use hashbrowns or diced potatoes in place of the rice or add additional vegetables if you desire. It's so versatile!

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb ground beef (or ground meat of your choice)
1/2 pkg frozen chopped onions
1 pkg frozen chopped green peppers
2 c cooked rice
2 can(s) tomato sauce
1 can(s) italian style diced tomatoes with juice
2 can(s) corn - drained
1 Tbsp garlic pepper seasoning (to taste)
2 c shredded cheese (i used colby jack)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a 9 x 13" glass or metal baking dish with aluminum foil. Set aside.
  • 2. In a large skillet or stockpot, brown ground beef. drain if needed depending on the type of meat you are using.
  • 3. Add garlic pepper seasoning, onions and green peppers to meat and saute until veggies are just tender.
  • 4. While meat, peppers and onions are cooking, prepare the 2 1/2 cups rice. I used Microwave and it took about 5 minutes to cook and set for 4 minutes.
  • 5. When rice is done, add canned ingredients to meat mixture and slowly mix in rice to thoroughly combine ingredients.
  • 6. Pour mixture into the baking dish and flatten to even. Put in oven on next to bottom rack position and bake for 30 minutes.
  • 7. After 30 minutes, remove from oven and top with cheese. Return to oven and cook for an additional 5 to 10 minutes until cheese is fully melted, a little longer if you wish to have crustier cheese.
  • 8. Remove from oven. Let sit for about 5 minutes and serve. My family loved it!

Tips:

  • For a creamier casserole, use a combination of sour cream and cream of mushroom soup.
  • Add a layer of cooked, crumbled bacon or sausage for a savory twist.
  • Top the casserole with shredded cheddar cheese or a combination of cheeses for a golden, bubbly crust.
  • For a healthier version, use whole wheat bread crumbs and low-fat dairy products.
  • To save time, use pre-cooked rice or frozen green peppers.
  • Serve the casserole with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
