Cheesy Stuffed Pepper Casserole *

This was just one big mess.  First of all, the recipe doesn't even tell you where to add the beef or rice.  I just mixed it all together in the stock pot.  Second, there is way too much liquid in here.  Two sauce cans would be plenty.  Either that, or cut down on the tomatoes.  Maybe I'd do both.  I don't know.  It just didn't work at all.  It all bubbled out of my 9x13, so now I get to clean that up out of the bottom of my oven.  I most definitely will not be making this again.  It's not even worth fiddling with the recipe to try to fix it.  There's just too much wrong with it.  The flavor isn't too bad, but it's just so soupy.  Plus, the tomato flavor is extremely overwhelming.
