Easy Enchilada Stuffed Pepper Casserole: a crowd-pleasing weeknight dinner loved by all ages!
Ingredients:
  • 2 (8 ounce) packages low fat cream cheese
  • 1 packet (1 oz) Old El Paso™ Original Taco Seasoning Mix
  • 1 (15 ounce) can corn, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
  • 1 can (4 oz) Old El Paso™ Chopped Green Chiles
  • 3 tablespoons from 1 can (10 oz) Old El Paso™ Mild Red Enchilada Sauce
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 4 cups cooked white rice
  • 2 green peppers, chopped into large pieces, seeds removed
  • 2 red peppers, chopped into large pieces, seeds removed
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 1 cup shredded mild cheddar cheese, divided
  • diced tomatoes and cilantro for garnish
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  • Heat cream cheese in a large bowl in the microwave until softened. Add taco seasoning, corn, beans, tomatoes, chiles, enchilada sauce, and cilantro. Mix well. Incorporate rice and 1/2 cup each of the cheeses. Set aside.
  • Coat a spacious baking dish with nonstick spray. Preferably a 10” round dish, or a 9 x 13 will also work.
  • Layer the green peppers at the bottom of the dish, then top with half of the rice mixture and smooth it out using a spoon.
  • Spread the red peppers evenly over the base, then add the remaining rice mixture on top. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of each cheese over the dish and garnish with additional cilantro.
  • Bake for 30 minutes, or until the cheese is gooey and melted, and the casserole is hot throughout.
  • Garnish with extra cilantro and diced tomatoes upon removing from the oven. Serve hot.
  • Indulge in the scrumptious flavors of this delightful dish!
