Mexican Baked Peppers

This one's just made up with various on-hand ingredients. 

1 small onion, chopped
1/2 lb ground beef

1Tbsp taco seasoning
3/4 cup corn (I used frozen)
3 cloves garlic, chopped

2 red peppers
Cheddar cheese, shredded

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Fry the onion until it starts to soften; add the beef. Fry until beef is browned. Add taco seasoning. Mix in corn and garlic. Fry until it's all cooked and hot!

Cut red peppers into thirds, vertically. They'll look like long, thick slices of pepper. Top with beef mixture, top with shredded cheese.

I baked these for about 15 minutes. The peppers were still a little crunchy, which I love! I added sour cream to mine, and you could add any variety of things: tomatoes, salsa, green onions, crushed Doritos, etc. I served these with plain brown rice on the side.
