I love turning meals like cheeseburgers, and chicken noodle soup into casseroles. I’ve done it again today with stuffed peppers. They are classic comfort food, but they can be a pain to make.

If you like stuffed peppers, you are going to love this easy stuffed pepper casserole. It has all the flavors you love, but is easiest and quicker to make. It is also much more kid-friendly! Serve with garlic knots and mashed potatoes for a stick to your ribs meal.

It is sure to become a new family favorite. I am a firm believer you can turn anything into a casserole. Don’t believe me? Check out my cheeseburger, enchilada, and chicken noodle soup casseroles.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can you Freeze It?

If you are looking for a great freezer meal, this is exactly what you need. You can make this casserole and freeze it or you can freeze leftovers. Be sure to store in an airtight container. It will last in freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight before baking per the instructions in the recipe.

2. How Long Can I Keep Leftovers?

Be sure to store in an air tight container in the refrigerator. The casserole should be kept at room temperature for no longer than 2 hours.  When stored properly, this casserole will last about 3 days.

3. Can You Use Any Color Peppers?

When you make stuffed peppers, green peppers are typically used. However, any color will work.  Red and yellow peppers are slightly milder and sweeter.
