Ingredients:
- 4 orange bell peppers
- 1 lb ground meat (pork, beef, turkey, or a mix)
- optional add-ins as desired
- 1 small onion
- 1 clove of garlic
- olive oil
Optional Add-Ins:
- fresh herbs
- chopped spinach
- cooked rice
- cooked beans
- shredded cheese
Directions:
Start by chopping the tops off of each bell pepper. Clean the seeds and ribs from the inside of the peppers.
Using a small paring knife, cut a jack-o-lantern face to the front of each pepper.
Add 2 TBS of olive oil, onion and garlic to a large skillet. Cook over medium heat for 1-2 minutes. Add the ground meat, and cook until the meat is no longer pink.
Add in any optional add-ins. (I used fresh herbs and spinach)
Spoon the cooked meat filling into each pepper.
Add grated cheese to the top of each pepper.
Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes, or until peppers are done.
Sprinkle finished peppers with fresh parsley, if desired.
