Store: Keep leftovers covered in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.If preferred, substitute the meat for an equivalent amount of a meatless ground protein substitute. Make Halloween stuffed peppers vegetarian – Replace meat with two 15-oz cans of beans (using a total of 3 cans, or 45 ounces, in the recipe).Re-purpose the filling – Got more filling left? Use it to stuff other vegetables and make stuffed zucchini, tomatoes, or mushrooms… or simply serve it as a side dish!.Use your favorites, just be sure they are cooked first. Add other veggies – Zucchini, carrots, peas, or any finely chopped vegetables would work well in the filling mixture.Get creative with carving – Carve these “pumpkins” however you like! Be sure to leave enough room at the bottom to keep water from seeping in, and carve faces small enough to keep filling from spilling out.You could also omit the cheese for a dairy-free option, but you may need a bit more tomato sauce or other liquid to avoid a dry filling. You can use any shredded cheese you prefer, as long as it melts easily. Shredded Cheddar Cheese – For added flavor and locking in moisture, so the filling doesn’t get too dry in the oven.Seasonings – Dried oregano, dried basil, sea salt, and black pepper.Tomato Sauce – Not to be confused with marinara sauce! This is the plain canned sauce made from tomatoes only.Black Beans – The flavor in black beans tastes great here, but you can easily swap in pinto beans, navy beans, kidney beans, or even chickpeas (use the extra for my roasted chickpeas recipe!).Cooked Rice – You can use conventional rice, brown rice, or even cooked cauliflower rice for a lower carb option.Ground Turkey – Like my ground turkey soup, this recipe uses ground turkey, but if you prefer, you can easily substitute lean ground beef or ground chicken in your Halloween stuffed peppers.Although fresh minced garlic improves the flavor, you can also use jarred minced garlic to save time. Aromatics – Yellow onion and minced garlic.Olive Oil – I prefer to use extra virgin olive oil, but use any neutral cooking oil you like.However, any color will still work with the recipe! Orange Bell Peppers – Since these are jack-o-lantern stuffed peppers, the orange color helps them look more like pumpkins.For measurements, see the recipe card below.
