STUFFED GREEN PEPPER CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. (I skipped this step and found I didn't need to worry about anything spilling anywhere by using a larger pan).
• In a large skillet over medium heat, cook sausage, stirring to break up chunks, until browned, 4 or 5 minutes. Put in bowl and wipe out skillet.
• Warm oil in skillet over medium heat. Add bell peppers and onion and cook, stirring, until peppers are just tender.
• Stir in sausage, tomatoes, tomato sauce, corn, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
• Turn heat to high and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
• Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 10 minutes, stirring once. Add rice.
• Pour mixture into a 9x13inch baking dish and place on baking sheet. (I found by putting the entire mixture into an 11x14" pan there was enough room, and I didn't need to dirty another dish or waste foil).
• Bake until bubbly, about 30 minutes.
• Remove from oven and sprinkle with cheddar.
• Return to oven and bake until cheese melts, about 3 to 5 minutes longer.
• Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
