Essentially deconstructed stuffed bell peppers. You can use red, green, yellow, or orange bell peppers." – Yoly View Recipe 02 of 26 Ground Beef and Cabbage Casserole lupini "This is a proven family favorite. Tastes a lot like stuffed cabbage but much easier. If you do not tell them cabbage is included, they will not know what hit them until after they tell you they love it! Texas Pete® hot sauce is a good way to spice it up a bit on your plate." – Paul View Recipe 03 of 26 4-Ingredient Hamburger Casserole fabeveryday "This 4-ingredient hamburger casserole is so comforting and easy to make, and leaves plenty of room for you to doctor it up as you see fit." – LaDonna Langwell View Recipe 04 of 26 Cheesy Hamburger Stew with Rice fabeveryday "On busy nights this hamburger stew is easy and filling!

You can make it in the Instant Pot or on the stovetop. When this cools, it will be very thick, but it thins out when reheated. Freezes very well." – Angela Giannetti Snyder View Recipe 07 of 26 Meaty Stuffed Pepper Casserole "My husband loves this casserole; he has nicknamed it 'meat mountain.' Much easier to make than the usual stuffed pepper." – rebeccahayden87 View Recipe 08 of 26 Cabbage Roll Soup Lexie "I made up this recipe after having a craving for cabbage rolls but no time to make them.

You can easily double the recipe and freeze leftovers in portions." – Lillian S View Recipe 09 of 26 My Amazing Tomato Basil Soup (Like Applebee's) "If you like Applebee's tomato-basil soup, this tastes just like it.

Serve with a loaf of crusty bread and a glass of red wine." – Stan View Recipe 11 of 26 Golabki (Stuffed Cabbage Rolls) Phillip "Golabki are cabbage leaves stuffed with ground beef and rice, then simmered in tomato soup. This works great in the oven or a slow cooker. Serve them with the pan juices and a drizzle of sour cream, or mix the pan juices with sour cream and ladle it over the cabbage rolls." – Rosey in Florida View Recipe 12 of 26 Easy Meatball Casserole fabeveryday "This is a quick and easy dinner twist on an old-time favorite, meatball casserole.
