Start with bell peppers to make a super easy version of that classic Italian casserole

Nothing warms the heart and fills the belly like a hearty casserole on a chilly evening. My Cheesy Stuffed Pepper Casserole is a family favorite with its vibrant peppers and ooey-gooey cheese, layered with fluffy rice and a savory beef mixture. It’s perfect for a comforting meal, and you can prepare it ahead of time to ease those busy weeknights. This dish brings the classic flavors of stuffed bell peppers into an easy-to-serve casserole form, making it a hit for both kids and adults.

This casserole is a complete meal by itself, but I love to serve it with a side of homemade garlic bread or a crisp green salad with a light vinaigrette. For those colder nights, pairing it with a warm cornbread can make it extra comforting!
