You won't be stuffing any peppers for this stuffed pepper casserole, but you will be enjoying the sweet and smoky combination of flavors coming from bell peppers, fire-roasted tomatoes, smoked paprika and ground beef. You can use precooked rice from the package or leftover brown rice if you have it. If using leftover rice, you will need about 1 1/2 cups.When you see the percentage of leanness on ground beef packages, it's referring to the ratio of meat to fat. In this case, 90%-lean ground beef is 90% meat and 10% fat. If a package says 85%-lean ground beef, that would have 85% meat and 15% fat.
Certain percentages of fat tend to work better for certain uses. For example, you might want 85%-lean ground beef for a burger so that it doesn't dry out as much during the cooking process. But for casseroles, leaner ground beef works better so that your casserole isn't swimming in extra fat.
