It’s no secret. I love stuffed peppers. I’ve made them in the oven, in the slow cooker and even into a soup! I thought it was about time to make stuffed peppers into a casserole. Have you jumped on the “one pot” bandwagon? I’m simply in love with how easy it is to throw together a meal, all in ONE POT. So I knew the Stuffed Pepper Casserole would make a perfect one-pot creation. Rice is one of the main stars in this dish, so you want to choose one that fits the bill. For this recipe I used Rice Select Texmati® White Rice.
Texmati® White Rice is the most widely recognized brand of aromatic rice in the U.S. Their award-winning Texmati® White Rice combines the qualities of basmati rice with those of traditional American long grain rice. Similar to basmati, Texmati has a delightful aroma of popcorn and a delicious nutty flavor. Its delicious flavor, delightful aroma, unique texture and easy cooking characteristics sets Texmati apart from all other aromatics.
All RiceSelect products are grown, milled, and packaged in the USA and are produced from non-GMO proprietary seed. Rice Select offer many types of rice too! Arborio, Arborio Blend™ with Jalapeño, Arborio Blend™ with Mushrooms. Each variety has its own distinct flavor, aroma, and texture-–therefore producing endless opportunities to create your own dish or put a new spin on an old one.
