Looking for a great way to create a Halloween themed dinner for your family? Or are you looking for a dish to take to an upcoming Halloween party? Here is a great (and simple) recipe for a Spoo-tastic dish for the upcoming holiday.
What you will need (This recipe will make 6 bell peppers):
- 1 lb lean meat (you can use ground turkey, chicken, beef, deer, or whatever you would like!)
- 6 bell peppers (any color will work! But Orange will be the best to imitate a real pumpkin)
- 2 tablespoons of the olive oil
- 1 cup of black beans
- 1.5 cup or rice (I used Uncle Ben’s Wild Rice)
- 1/2 cup chopped onions
- 1/2 cup chopped mushrooms
- 1tsp salt
- 1tsp pepper
- 1.5 cup low fat cheese
- 1 clove of garlic
Instructions:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees Ferinheight
- WASH and Cut the tops off the peppers
- Remove the inside content of the peppers and wash them again
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat
- Add the meat (for my peppers in the video I cooked chicken)
- Season meat with salt, pepper, garlic, and other desired seasoning
- Add mushrooms, onions, rice, beans, and whatever else you would like to add to the skillet
- Cook all off the contents, breaking up the lumps, until the meat is thoroughly cooked (approximately 8 to 10 minutes)
- Once all contents are cooked stir in cheese
- Evenly distribute contents of skillet into the bell peppers
- Sprinkle a small portion of cheese on the very top of the peppers
- Pour a small amount of water into the bottom of the baking dish
- Cover backing dish with foil and bake for 15 -30 minutes (the longer you cook it, the softer the pepper will become. If you want a firm crisp pepper cook it for a smaller amount of time)
Sever these stuffed peppers with your favorite side dishes and enjoy a delicious Halloween themed meal!
