Spooky Stuffed Brains (Peppers)

Preheat oven to 350°F. Slice the stem off the bell peppers. Make the spooky faces by carefully using a pairing knife to make triangle eyes and a mouth. Bake the bell peppers in the oven for about 10-12 minutes, while you make the filling. 

Get a sautée pan and add the oil. Add in onions and cook 1-2 minutes until translucent. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute until fragrant. Add in the sauce and protein. If using a raw protein like ground beef or turkey, make sure to cook through. Season generously and taste for flavor. Carefully take peppers out of the oven and switch to broil. Add about 1/2 cup of protein filling to each. Top with a tbsp or so of shredded cheese and pop the peppers under the broiler for 1-2 minutes until the cheese gets nice and bubbly. 

Garnish with cilantro and lime wedges and you’re good to go. You can even add a dollop of Greek yogurt for a nice creamy addition.
