Deconstructed Stuffed Peppers

A friend had a baby and before I chose what to bring I decided to check her Pinterest!  I found a picture of Stuffed Green Pepper Casserole but the link didn't work so I searched a few recipes and came up with this! So yummy, easy and perfect to bring to someone who needs a meal (but make sure you make yourself one too!).  


Ingredients 
1-1.5 pound ground beef (or turkey)
2 cups cooked brown rice
1 small onion diced small
1-2 green peppers diced medium
1 jar of pasta sauce (I'd get one with lots of flavor)
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp Italian seasoning 
1/8 tsp pepper 
1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese (save 1/2 cup to sprinkle on top) 

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350.

Brown beef in a large skillet.  At the same time cook your rice.  Once meat is mostly brown add onions and peppers along with salt, pepper and seasoning.  

Once rice is cooked, peppers are softened and meat is cooked mix it all together a large bowl.  Add 1 cup cheese and pasta sauce to mixture.  

Pour mixture to a deep casserole pan. Sprinkle with remaining cheese and bake about 20 minutes until cheese is melted.
