One-Pot Cheesy Stuffed Pepper Casserole

Everything you love about classic stuffed peppers blended into this easy and delicious One-Pot Cheesy Stuffed Pepper Casserole!

What’s not to love about stuffed peppers, especially the classic kind. Growing up I always remember my mom making them. Hers always had a distinct taste that I loved. To this day when I make Stuffed Peppers I always make her recipe. And even though I love peppers what I love most about stuffed peppers in the filling! Who doesn’t love that?

I love to try varieties of Stuffed Pepper recipes too. I’ve even created a few of my own like Roasted Stuffed Peppers with Italian Sausage and topped with a Balsamic Glaze. They’re so good and low carb friendly too!

My family especially Mr. Mother Thyme loves when I make classic stuffed peppers but what they love the most about stuffed peppers is the filling. Often when I would make stuffed peppers everyone would eat just the filling and only a few bites of the peppers! I eventually starting cutting the peppers in half instead instead of filling whole peppers which was a lifesaver! But then I got even more creative and stopped filling the peppers and instead chopped them up and mixed them in to create this One-Pot Cheesy Stuffed Pepper Casserole.

This One-Pot Cheesy Stuffed Pepper Casserole has all the classic flavors you love about stuffed peppers blended together in an easy, one-pot dish topped with lots of cheese melted on top! What’s not to love about that? And you can’t beat the easy prep and easy cleanup too!

If you love stuffed peppers but don’t have the time to parboil the peppers, make the filling, stuff and bake them then try this easy peasy cheesy one pot meal!
