The Cheesy Stuffed Pepper Beef Casserole Stack brings the hearty, familiar flavors of classic stuffed peppers into an easy-to-make, family-friendly casserole. This one-pan meal delivers layers of seasoned ground beef, vibrant bell peppers, tender rice, and melted cheese—all baked into a comforting dish that’s both satisfying and fuss-free. It’s a smart way to serve up a balanced, flavorful dinner with minimal cleanup.
Instead of stuffing individual peppers, this recipe dices them and incorporates them directly into the filling, which speeds up prep while still preserving the sweet crunch and colorful appeal of red, green, and yellow peppers. Combined with sautéed onions, garlic, and rich tomato sauce, the ground beef takes on a savory, slightly tangy profile that balances beautifully with the mild rice layer and gooey cheddar topping.
This casserole also adapts well to a range of palates. You can easily turn up the spice with a dash of hot sauce or keep it simple and classic for picky eaters. The texture is both tender and hearty, with just enough crisp edges on the cheese to add that crave-worthy finish.
