Ingredients

  • 6 - Orange Bell Peppers
  • 1 Lb - Ground Beef
  • 1 - Taco Seasoning Packet or Gluten Free Taco Seasoning
  • 1 Cup - Rice
  • 3 - Green Onions
  • 1 Cup - Corn
  • shredded cheese
  • salsa

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400*.
  2. After you cook the ground beef add in the taco seasoning as instructed on the package. Once this is done, then add in the rice, onions, and corn mixing this well.
  3. Slice the top off the peppers and clean out the inside, then stuff them with seasoning. This amount will make enough for 6 peppers; however, I typically use 4 and then save the remaining stuffing for nachos.
  4. Top these with cheese and bake for 30 minutes in the oven. Let cool for a few minutes then carve out the pumpkin face.
  5. Serve these plain or topped with salsa.
