4 Orange/red/or yellow bell peppers Large works best. If you want full Jack o lantern feel try and get orange.
1 pound 90% lean ground beef
1.5 Cups chopped onion
3/4 Cup tomato sauce
8 oz drained whole kernal golden corn, no salt added
2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp salt and pepper
1/2 Cup shredded cheddar cheese

Cut off the tops of the bell peppers and set the tops aside. Remove the seeds from each pepper and discard.
Cut out your designs like you would a pumpkin, then cook your peppers 5 minutes in boiling water, drain them and set aside. Go ahead and preheat your oven to 350 degrees
Cook your ground beef and onion in a medium to large skillet until meat is browned, crumbling meat as you cook, drain
Add the tomato sauce, salt, pepper, chili powder, and corn
Once it's all stirred in, stuff each Pepper with the meat mixture, place tops back on and Bake for 15mins.
Sprinkle with cheese and bake for another 5-10mins until cheese is melted

Try to buy larger bell peppers, it will be easier to stuff
