Directions

  1. Cut tops off bell peppers (about 1/2 inch down from top). Chop pepper tops discarding stems. Discard seeds from pepper bottoms.

  2. Place peppers in a shallow microwave-safe baking dish. Microwave uncovered 4 to 5 minutes or until crisp-tender, set aside to cool.

  3. Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Meanwhile, heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add chopped pepper tops, saute 2 minutes. Add rice, saute 1 minute. Add broth, bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat, cover and simmer 15 minutes. Stir pepperoni into rice. Cover, simmer 2 minutes or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. Stir in spinach until wilted. Stir in 1/2 cup of the cheese. Drain peppers, stand upright in same baking dish.

  4. Spoon rice mixture into peppers, top with remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until heated through.
