Stuffed peppers is one of the few things I miss since becoming a vegetarian. I'm going to try this and swap the beef with Morningstar ground beef(less) beef.

It looks wonderful, thank you for sharing!

You just solved me wondering what to fix for Sunday dinner.  I'm going to try this with ground turkey and chicken broth instead.

@Reconnaissant   DH makes a casserole somewhat similar to this. He slices red and yellow peppers (no bell peppers for me as digestive issues) browned ground beef, canned Italian tomatoes (garlic, seasonings already part of the canned tomatoes) rice, mozzarella cheese and chunked butternut squash.  He has also used turkey burger in place of ground beef on occasion.  Since I'm definitely not a cook, I'm not sure if anything else is included.  Bakes at 350 not sure how long.  It is delicious and one of my favorites.  We are having it tonight for dinner.

WOW, this is right up my alley.  Just have to swap the rice!

this is a family favorite with the rice, or shredded cabbage.
