Ingredients
- 4 orange bell peppers

- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Bring a large pot of water to boil.

- Carve out little jack-o-lantern faces on one side of the peppers, such as triangles for eyes and noses, and a creepy smile.
- Cook the peppers in the boiling water for 5 minutes then drain peppers and set aside.
- In a large skillet, cook ground beef and onion until the beef is browned, stirring often. Remove from heat.
- Stir in tomato sauce, corn, chili powder, and salt.

- Remove pepper tops and sprinkle with cheese, then bake another 5 minutes until cheese is bubbly.
