    Dinner with less mess is always a winner around here. This simple One Pot Stuffed Pepper Casserole is full of flavor and a recipe you will want to make over and over again.

    Simple One Pot Meal:

    One pot meals are the BEST because well dishes stink. My husband has actually been on dish duty for the past few weeks. He's pretty amazing and he knows how much I hate them.

    With all the cooking that I do we have to really stay on top of them though so his help is welcomed and appreciated. I think though he enjoyed this recipe not only because it tastes great but because it meant fewer dishes for him!

    How to make One Pot Stuffed Pepper Casserole:

    Step one: Cook sausage in a large pot. Once cooked and crumbled go ahead and drain fat and return to stove top. Next, add in your diced onion and bell peppers and cook until tender.

    Step two: Add petite diced tomatoes and tomato sauce to the pot. Then add all seasonings. Mix well then add chicken broth, Worcestershire sauce, and rice. Mix rice in well.

    Step three: Bring to a boil then reduce heat and cook covered for 10 minutes or until rice is tender. Mix in 1 cup of shredded cheese and cover again. Allow sitting for 5-10 minutes until cheese is melted.
    • Tip: For this recipe, I used instant rice. Using non-instant will change the cooking time.
    Step four: Top with remaining ½ cup cheese and serve.
