INSTRUCTIONS

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 375° F.
  2. 2
    Cut the tops off the orange bell peppers and take out the seeds and insides. Very carefully with a paring knife make a jack o’lantern face in each pepper. Add to a baking dish and set aside.
  3. 3
    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add in the ground beef and crumble, cook 3 minutes.
  4. 4
    Add the diced onion to the skillet and cook 3 to 4 minutes until they start to soften.
  5. 5
    Add the minced garlic and Cajun seasoning to the skillet and cook another 1 minute.
  6. 6
    Drain the skillet if needed before adding the Worcestershire sauce, tomatoes (with the juices), broth, and rice to the skillet. Mix everything together well and cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low for a simmer, stir and cover again cooking 10 minutes.
  7. 7
    Scoop the stuffing into each of the bell peppers until they are full. Place the tops back on the peppers.
  8. 8
    Carefully cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and transfer to the oven. Bake covered for 45 minutes. Uncover and check the peppers. Cook longer if needed. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
