UNSTUFFED GREEN PEPPER CASSEROLE

Found this on About.com under Southern foods. I changed the peppers from being stuffed to lining the casserole dish. Sort of a Lazy Stuffed Peppers. I changed the recipe from stuffed pappers to unstuffed. I love the filling for stuffed peppers and the taste the peppers give the filling but not too keen on chomping on the peppers themselves.

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



Stuffed Green Pepper Casserole image

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 vegetarian version, omit the ground beef and add an extra cup of vegetables, such as diced zucchini, carrots, or mushrooms.
  • If you don't have green peppers, you can use a combination of other bell peppers, such as red, yellow, or orange.
  • To make the casserole ahead of time, cook it according to the directions and then let it cool completely. Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, reheat in a 350°F oven until warmed through.
  • Serve the casserole with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.

Conclusion:

Green pepper casserole is a classic comfort food dish that is easy to make and loved by many.
