You get all of the best flavors of classic stuffed peppers in casserole-form, and it’s super easy to make. The entire dish is prepared in ONE POT, so clean up is easy as well! Gotta love it! 

Ingredients:

1 lb extra-lean ground beef

1/2 cup diced yellow onion

3 cloves garlic, finely chopped

2 cups diced bell peppers 

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes, undrained

2 cups Progresso™ beef flavored broth (from 32-oz carton)

1 (8 oz) can tomato sauce

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1 cup uncooked white rice

1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese

Directions:

In 4-quart saucepan, cook beef, onion and garlic over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes, breaking into small pieces as beef browns.

Add bell peppers, salt and pepper. Cook 5 to 7 minutes longer or until peppers have started to soften. (If there is any remaining fat from your beef, drain it off at this point.)

Reduce heat to medium; add tomatoes, broth, tomato sauce, soy sauce and Italian seasoning. Stir until well combined. Heat to boiling.

Add uncooked rice. Return to boiling; reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer about 25 minutes or until rice is tender.

Remove from heat; sprinkle with shredded cheese. Enjoy!
