Stuffed Pepper Casserole

We've been in a menu funk so got this recipe from Jackie and it was delicious!!  Makes a ton but can be frozen :)
10 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 pound sausage I used Jimmy Dean breakfast sausage
  • 2 cups cooked rice (cook as directed on the back of the box)
  • 2 bell peppers diced
  • 1 yellow onion diced
  • 1 can Rotel
  • 4 tablespoons Worcestershire
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 6 ounces tomato paste
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese optional

Instructions

  • In a skillet, you will want to cook your ground beef and sausage in a skillet until crumbled and no longer pink. Drain off any excess grease.
  • Now you will mix in your chopped peppers and onion, and saute for 2-3 minutes or until they soften just a bit.
  • While meat is cooking cook up enough rice to make 2 cups of cooked rice.
  • Once your peppers and onions cook down, add in your Rotel, Worcestershire, salt, pepper, and tomato paste. Turn heat to low and let it simmer for a bit until rice is cooked.
  • Stir in your cooked rice. Pour into a 9x13 pan, or split into two 8x8 pans if you plan to freeze part.
  • Top with cheese if you want, and bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes or until cheese is melted.
  • Dish up the stuffed pepper casserole for an easy weeknight dinner for the whole family.
