How To Make pepper pumpkins

1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Place onion, rub and beef in microwave safe bowl. Microwave, uncovered, on HIGH 4 – 5 minutes, breaking meat into crumbles as it cooks. Drain, if necessary. Stir in cheese. Cut tops off peppers and set aside; remove seeds from pepper bottoms.

2
Using a small paring knife cut through each pepper to create the eyes and nose. Cut below to make a thin half-moon for the mouth.
3
Place peppers on a sheet pan. Divide filling evenly between peppers. Place tops on peppers and secure with a toothpick. Bake 20 – 22 minutes or until peppers are softened.
4
Remove toothpicks as serve.
