Pumpkin patch stuffed peppers

I found the idea for these on Pinterest and I just couldn't resist!

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef or ground turkey

2 cups cooked rice (I used wild rice)

1/2 yellow onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 can fire roasted diced tomatoes 

1 can tomato sauce

3/4 cup coconut milk

1 Tbsp cumin

1 Tbsp coriander

1/2 tsp oregano

Salt, pepper and crushed red pepper flakes to taste.

Carve your peppers into little jack-o-lanterns. I made them all the same for the sake of time (since I was making 20 of them!) but they would be extra cute if they were all carved differently.

Brown the turkey (or beef) with the diced onion, garlic, cumin, coriander, oregano, salt, pepper and flakes. Add the cooked rice, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce and coconut milk. Stir until it is mixed well. I like to let the mixture sit in the fridge for a few hours or overnight so that it becomes extra delicious. When you're ready to eat them spoon the mixture into the pepper.  Pop them in the oven for about 20 minutes at 375 degrees. 

Makes ~10 peppers.
