Each serving is approximately 2 cups. That’s a big serving for only 7 points!

If you like stuffed peppers you’re going to love this. It’s quicker and easier than traditional stuffed peppers, but still has all of the flavor.
I used one green pepper and one red pepper. Feel free to use whichever peppers you prefer.
Unlike the Stuffed Pepper Soup that I made, this Stuffed Pepper Casserole is made with lean ground beef.
The Stuffed Pepper Soup is made with ground turkey. If you want to make this recipe even lower in points you could use ground turkey.
Long grain white rice is the rice I used. If you are following the purple plan you could switch to brown rice to make it lower in points.
The rice is very important in this recipe, it helps absorb a lot of the liquid.
When you first add all of the ingredients to the pot you might think it looks like soup. The rice is going to absorb that liquid.
I used reduced fat Mexican cheese to keep this stuffed pepper casserole low in points.
Sometimes I have a hard time finding reduced fat cheddar cheese. That’s why I use the Mexican cheese in a lot of my recipes.
Reduced-fat cheddar cheese would also work great in this recipe, just make sure to doublecheck the points if you use it.
This is also a great recipe for meal prep! With 6 large servings I always have some leftover.

Yield: 6 servings (7 points per serving for blue, green and purple)

Could you use cauliflower rice instead?
I haven’t tried it but I don’t see why not. I would probably reduce the beef broth to 1 cup since the cauliflower rice won’t absorb the liquid like regular rice does.
I make WW recipes all the time but am counting calories, fat, carbs, protein. fiber, sodium and sugar. Do you have the nutritional values for this recipe?
Yes, I added it to the bottom of the recipe card. 🙂
