This dish is perfect for Halloween parties or a fun family dinner, and it's sure to impress your guests with its creative presentation and mouth-watering taste.

To make this dish, you'll need the following ingredients:

- 4 large orange bell peppers
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 1/2 cup diced green bell pepper
- 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste

To start, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Cut off the tops of the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Use a sharp knife to carve a Jack-O-Lantern face into each pepper, being careful not to cut through the flesh.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks. Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper, and cook until the vegetables are tender.
Add the cooked rice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to the skillet, and stir to combine. Remove from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese.
Spoon the beef and rice mixture into each of the carved peppers, filling them to the top. Place the peppers in a baking dish and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
When the peppers are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. The Jack-O-Lantern faces will look spooky and fun, and the filling will be deliciously savory and cheesy. This dish is sure to be a hit with kids and adults alike!
