Some of our kids don’t like stuffed peppers, but they loved this One Pan Stuffed Pepper Casserole. It’s everything you would get in a stuffed pepper, without the strong green pepper taste overpowering.

Stuffed Peppers were always a favorite growing up. But they were a labor of love cleaning out each green pepper, making the filling, and then stuffing them full to bake. Now you have all of that same delicious flavor in an easy casserole.

But if you love Stuffed Green Peppers, this recipe is so much easier than filling each green pepper. And you can easily add in more diced green pepper to this recipe. It’s easy to adjust to your liking and taste.

One Pan Stuffed Pepper Casserole is also the best way to sneak in some veggies for your kids. You can cover up a lot of the veggies with cheese. They’ll never know that there are tomatoes and green peppers waiting for them under the cheese.
