My husband loves this casserole; he has nicknamed it 'meat mountain.' Much easier to make than the usual stuffed pepper.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this casserole with lentils instead of beef. It was still very flavorful and satisfying.

I'm not a huge fan of bell peppers, but I really enjoyed this casserole. The other flavors in the dish really balanced out the bell pepper flavor.
