Stuffed Pepper Casserole

01Method

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a 13x9-inch baking dish by coating it with cooking spray.

2. 2

   Place a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, onion, both bell peppers, and garlic, cooking and stirring until the meat is fully browned and broken apart, 7 to 10 minutes.

3. 3

   Pour off any excess fat from the pan. Season with salt and pepper, then mix in the diced tomatoes with green chiles, tomato sauce, and taco seasoning until combined.

4. 4

   Distribute the rice evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish and pour the beef broth over it. Spoon the meat and pepper mixture over the rice and use a spatula to fold everything together and spread it evenly.

5. 5

   Scatter both cheeses evenly over the top.

6. 6

   Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake until the rice is cooked through, about 50 minutes. Uncover and continue baking for another 5 minutes, or until the cheese turns golden.
