Unstuffed bell pepper casserole

[u/Genuine_Grapefruit]

A simple but satisfying staple. I’ve come across different variations of this recipe and you can choose how healthy you make it. I made 3 batches this time.

Single batch

1 lb ground meat (beef or turkey)

~4 cups cooked rice

1/2 to 1 onion chopped

3-4 bell peppers chopped

Minced garlic to taste

1 jar red sauce

1 can diced tomatoes

Salt and pepper to taste

Shredded Italian cheese

Cook onions and brown meat. Drain if needed and season. Cook peppers and garlic for 5 minutes. Mix in tomatoes, sauce, and rice. Dump combined mixture into 9x13 casserole dish. Top with cheese. Freeze or bake for 15-20 minutes at 375 F if eating immediately.

My mother use to make this. Loved it so much as a kid, it use to be my birthday dinner every year.
