Cut the tops off the red and orange bell peppers and cut them in half, removing seeds and membranes.

Set the hollowed-out bell pepper halves on a baking tray.

Brown 1 pound of ground beef in a skillet over medium heat.

While the beef is browning, set 1 block of cream cheese out at room temperature.

Drain the grease off the browned ground beef.

Add 1 tablespoon of garlic powder to the ground beef and stir.

Add 1/2 cup of salsa to the beef and mix well.

Reduce heat to low and sprinkle in 1 packet of taco seasoning, stirring to combine.

Add 1 block of cream cheese to the skillet and stir until well mixed and creamy.

Spoon the cream cheese and beef mixture into the bell pepper halves.

Bake the stuffed bell peppers at 350°F for 25 minutes.

Taste test the stuffed peppers and note the flavors.
