Another great twist on this recipe is that cheese is added to the mix. Normally, stuffed peppers are sans cheddar (at least in my house), but the casserole is a whole different story! We couldn’t be more pleased because who doesn’t like cheese? We love this recipe because it is great for feeding a crowd. From church potlucks to school events, there’s always enough to go around. I’m making this casserole for supper today, and I halved the recipe as it’s only myself and my husband who’ll be dining tonight. How many will you be cooking for?
Check out what my pals over at 77recipes had to say about this dish:
A “stuffed” casserole doesn’t exactly sound healthy, but you’re about to be pleasantly surprised! Made with lean ground beef and nutrient-rich ingredients, this dinner does a great job of satisfying hunger without packing on a ton of calories.
Ingredients
1 pound lean ground beef
2 green bell peppers, diced
2 red bell pepper, diced
1 small onion, diced
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 (8.8-ounce) pouches Uncle Ben’s Ready Rice brown rice
1 (23.25-ounce) jar Prego Traditional pasta sauce
½ tablespoon dried McCormick oregano
½ tablespoon dried McCormick basil
1 teaspoon Morton salt
1 teaspoonMcCormick black pepper
1 cup Sargento shredded four cheese Italian blend
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 13×9-inch casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef, bell peppers, onion, and garlic until the vegetables soften and the beef is no longer pink, 10 to 12 minutes. Use a wooden spoon to break up the beef as it cooks. Drain any excess fat and return the skillet to the stovetop, turning the heat down to low.
Microwave the rice according to package directions.
Add the cooked rice, pasta sauce, basil, oregano, salt and pepper to the beef in the skillet and mix well. Transfer the skillet ingredients to the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle the Italian cheese on top of the casserole.
Bake uncovered until the cheese is melted, 18-20 minutes.

Where is the cabbage?
I’m wondering that too!!
Cabbage? She said stuffed peppers! Not cabbage rolls!
I think its suppose to be stuffed pepper casserole???
Exactly me too!!! Cabbage ?????
Sounds like unstuffed peppers
I think you are right! Must have been a “typo”!
I read it as meaning its like cabbage rolls without the cabbage. I think you could add chopped cabbage though if you wanted too.
I was wondering about the cabbage too. Also, I’ve never had cabbage rolls with spaghetti sauce.
Where the heck is the cabbage!! I love cabbage . How could it taste like stuffed cabbage without the cabbage? I suppose I’ll have to try this recipe and see for myself.
Where’s the cabbage? I would definitely add cabbage but I would use tomato juice instead of spaghetti sauce. Sounds good though.
If ur calling it low carb u need to post nutritional facts please!
Why does everyone keep asking where’s the cabbage? I never had stuffed peppers or seen a recipe for stiffed peppers with cabbage. I’ve never made them that way either
Cabbage and Peppers
NO
Totally separate palates. Make Unstuffed Peppers OR
Unstuffed Cabbage Rolls! (Add drained sauerkraut )
It sounds like a bunch, who don’t read very well. I’m just
Blown away with the comments.
WELL THATS A BUMMER I WAS LOOKING FOR PEPPERS.
Stuffed peppers,no where does it say cabbage..
