Jack-O'-Lantern Stuffed Peppers
Ingredients
  • 6 bell peppers, any color
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 egg
  • 4 slices whole wheat bread, cubed
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 small tomato, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup chili sauce
  • 1/4 cup prepared yellow mustard
  • 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the desired temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
2
Next, take a moment to grease the interior of an 11x17-inch baking dish with some cooking spray.
3
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, an egg, cubed bread, finely chopped onion, diced tomatoes, minced garlic, a dash of chili sauce, a spoonful of mustard, a splash of Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix the ingredients together until they are just combined.
4
Wash a few bell peppers thoroughly, and use a sharp knife to carve out jack-o'-lantern faces from the top of each pepper. Create triangle-shaped eyes and noses, and add pointy-teeth smiles to bring your peppers to life. Remove the tops of each pepper, and scoop out the seeds and cores.
5
Fill each pepper with a moderate amount of beef stuffing, making sure they lean against one another in the baking dish.
6
Finally, place the peppers into the prepared baking dish and bake in the preheated oven until they are tender, and the beef stuffing is cooked through and juicy, taking approximately 1 hour to complete.
