Stuffed Pepper Casserole

Even in this season of fancy food, sometimes the familiar and cozy
dishes are the most appreciated. These stuffed peppers, with their hit
of flavor from herb stuffing mix, are just what you've been waiting for.

*Stuffed Pepper Casserole*
from Campbell's Kitchen

Prep Time: 15 min.
Bake Time: 30 min.

2 1/2 cups Pepperidge Farm® Herb Seasoned Stuffing
1 tbsp. butter, melted
1 lb. ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
1 can (14.5 ounces) whole peeled tomatoes, cut up
1 can (about 8 ounces) whole kernel corn, drained
2 medium green peppers, cut lengthwise into quarters

Stir *1/4 cup* stuffing and butter in a medium bowl.

Cook the beef and onion in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat until
the beef is well browned, stirring often to separate meat. Pour off any
fat.

Stir the tomatoes and corn in the skillet. Add the remaining stuffing
and mix lightly.

Arrange the peppers, cut-side up, in a 2-quart shallow baking dish.
Spoon the beef mixture over the peppers. Cover the baking dish.

Bake at 400°F. for 25 minutes or until the peppers are tender. Sprinkle
with the reserved stuffing mixture. Bake, uncovered, for 5 minutes or
until the topping is golden.

/Tip*:*/ To melt the butter, remove the wrapper and place the
butter into a microwavable cup. Cover and microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds.

Serves 4.

Kitchen Clip For dessert, what could be better than banana splits?
Go all out--whipped cream, hot fudge, and don't forget the cherry on top!
