Stuffed Pepper Casserole – Super Meal To Go With The Sales At Publix

May 5, 2020 | Deals, Recipes | 1 comment

Well guys the sales are a little slim this week. When I looked at the list and started working on my menu…I decided it was a casserole kind of week!

A favorite at my house is this Stuffed Pepper Casserole. I have shared this one before and thought it would be a good reminder as many of the key items are on sale in the new ad. With a few pantry staples you can have this one on the table in a flash.

My guys love the taste and it is crazy easy to prepare. You get all the flavor of stuffed bell peppers without a lot of effort. PLUS…my boys actually eat the bell pepper when it’s all mixed together. When I serve up a stuffed pepper they only eat the filling.

What’s so nice about this recipe is that you can use whatever ground meat that you have handy. Seriously…you can use turkey, beef, sausage, pork, chicken—or even a combo of meats! Just use whatever might be hiding in your fridge or freezer and it will come out great.

My guys love it with sausage and then eat the casserole with a big hunk of crusty bread. It’s almost has a pizza vibe when served that way…which makes my pizza-aholics VERY happy!
