Ingredients:

• Olive oil for sautéing
• ½ large onion, diced
• 1 lb. lean ground beef
• 15 oz. can of black beans, drained
• 1 7oz. can diced green chilies
• 1 cup frozen corn
• 2-3 cups cooked brown rice
• 1 tsp. cumin
• 1 ½ tsp. chili powder
• 1 tsp. salt

• Optional toppings: salsa, guacamole, plain Greek yogurt, jalapeños, shredded cheese

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°.
2. Add about 1 tablespoon of olive oil to a skillet and sauté diced onions until translucent, about 3 minutes.
3. Add ground beef, breaking up and cooking until no longer pink.
4. While the beef is cooking, cut the tops off of the peppers, remove the seeds and membranes. Use a paring knife to cut out jack-o-lantern faces if desired.
5. Once beef is cooked, add the corn, rice, green chilies, black beans, and seasonings. Stir to combine and warm through.
6. Spoon some of the mixture into the prepared peppers, filling to the top.
