Green Pepper Casserole

Last night was green pepper casserole




· 3 green peppers chopped into squares
· ½-1 cup long grain rice (just not instant)
· 1 can diced tomatoes
· 1 can tomato sauce
· ½ large onion diced
· A couple of cloves of garlic minced

· A little water if necessary

· 1- 1.5 lb ground beef

· 1 ½ -2 cups shredded mozz. cheese


Last night I threw in some left over mushrooms too and it was good




Brown beef and drain excess fat. While browning, do your chopping. After browned, mix all ingredients in a 13x9 dish. (spray dish with pam before adding mixture)


*The actual recipe only calls for ½ c rice and ½ c water. I like a little more rice and more “tomato-ey” so I add the can of tomato sauce. You don’t really need the water since you are adding the tomato sauce, but I do just to make sure all rice gets plump.


Bake at 350 covered for 1 hour. Give it a little stir about ½ way so rice on top gets to some liquid. Take off cover for the last 5 min and add cheese to the top. Put it back in till cheese is melty and bubbly.
