Bell pepper Casserole

This is a new one for us and is so delicious I have to share with everyone! This is similar to stuffed peppers but much better. The balance between the peppers and filling is amazing. 

Because the tomatoes are just ripening in the garden I made the sauce fresh. You could easily substitute with your favorite tomato sauce.
