Halloween – Jack-o Lantern Peppers (Serves 4)

Cook Time – 25mins

Ingredients:

  • 4 large Orange Bell Peppers
  • 1 packet of Mash Direct Mashed Potato
  • Crumbled Bacon
  • 3 Chives
  • Grated Cheese
  • Sour Cream

Method:

  • Heat oven to 180 degrees ⁰c.
  • Using a sharp knife, slice the top off each bell pepper horizontally. Set tops aside (do not discard!) and remove all seeds. Rinse the peppers and pat dry.
  • Use a small knife, cut holes in the exterior of the peppers to make Jack-O Lantern faces. If the peppers don’t stand up right, use the knife to slice a small amount from the bottom.
  • Lightly grease a small sheet pan. Arrange the peppers and lids on the pan and cook in the oven for 20 – 25 minutes, or until the peppers are cooked, but still firm. Remove peppers from the oven and allow to cool while you make the filling.

FOR THE FILLING:

  • Cook the Mashed Potato according to package instructions.
  • Add the bacon, sour cream, cheese and chives. Mix gently to combine. Add salt and pepper to taste. Scoop the potato mixture into the peppers evenly.
  • Place a top onto each stuffed pepper and serve with a big jack-o-lantern smile!
