Stuffed Pepper Casserole

Happy 1st of September ! This past month has been so nice settling into our home and getting into a new routine. One of my goals once we settled in was to try one new recipe per week and share the ones that were hits. This stuffed pepper casserole was SO good. Just the right amount of protein, flavor and cheese 😋
