Glad you like it!
wow!! your blog is amazing, thank you so much for sharing.
I love how easy this is to make! and one of my fav meals is a stuffed pepper!
I have to try this with minced Chicken or Turkey since I don’t eat red meat. Hope it won’t change the taste drastically !
I would try ground turkey. I often use that in place of ground beef :)
This is so good! My mom makes something similar with a cornbread topping!
Oh yummy! This is delicious, especially with all that melted cheese on the top.
Stuffed peppers never go out of style. This is the perfect “take along” casserole when you need to bring something for dinner.
I also used to hate stuffed peppers but I think it’s because my aunt was a super healthy person and barely cooked with any spices or condiments, so they tasted very dull to me! This casserole looks delicious, it is the kind of comforting food we love at home!
This looks like an simple meal that my family would love! I will definitely be giving this a try soon! Thanks for sharing :)
That looks like a delicious and easy to prepare dinner! Will definitely give it a try!
Wow :o it looks delicious! I will really try this. Thanks for sharing
