This casserole has all the flavors of stuffed peppers without all the work. An easy recipe that is good any night of the week.
Stuffed Peppers has always been a favorite of mine. I don't really remember my mom making them when we were growing up but my mother in law did. I was always super giddy when I knew that is what she was making for dinner. My husband and I are high school sweethearts and when we started dating neither one of us had a car.
My parents and his parents, and friends, and whoever we could get would take us to each others house. I always loved when his mom would make stuffed peppers. It was my absolute favorite time to visit. I always made sure that was the time I came over to his house.
Fast forward 30 years later and both sets of parents are now gone. I have been super blessed to have both my mom and his mom's recipes in my possession. And one of those recipes is for her stuffed peppers. I have yet to make her recipe for stuffed peppers. I know they will never have all the love she put in hers. My only hope is that when I do make them, I can feel some of her love around us. I simply adored her.
This recipe is super easy to make. It has all the flavors of a stuffed pepper. And who doesn't love a good casserole? Fancy enough to serve as a Sunday dinner or humble enough to serve on any weeknight. Your family is going to love this casserole, I promise.
