Bell Pepper Casserole is a hearty, flavorful dish that blends the vibrant flavors of bell peppers, ground meat (such as beef, turkey, or plant-based alternatives), cooked rice, and a savory tomato-based sauce. Popular in American comfort food cuisine, it often draws inspiration from stuffed bell peppers, but is deconstructed for easier preparation. Topped with melted cheese, it delivers a satisfying texture and rich taste. This casserole can be a nutritious choice, packed with vitamins A and C from bell peppers and fiber from the rice and vegetables. Opting for lean or plant-based protein and brown rice can further enhance its health benefits. However, it’s worth noting that sodium levels may be elevated due to sauces and cheese, so choosing low-sodium varieties can make it a healthier option. A balanced and family-friendly choice, it pairs well with a fresh green salad for an all-around nutrient-packed meal.
