3/4 cup grated pepper Jack
3 scallions, thinly sliced

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large pot of simmering water, steam peppers until tender, 5 to 7 minutes, then drain and let cool. Once cool, halve and arrange in a large glass baking dish.

  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine black beans, corn, 1/2 cup pepper jack, 2 scallions, chili powder, and hot sauce and season with salt.

  • Spoon black bean mixture into bell peppers and sprinkle with more cheese. Bake until cheese is melted and mixture is warmed through, 7 to 10 minutes.

  • Top with scallions and serve.
