You'll have to stir it every couple of minutes or it'll start to splatter, because the bottom's going to heat up a lot faster than the sauce on top. , Stir it up, put that lid back on, and set it aside. ,, Sprinkle a little bit of cheese over them and then go find the pepper tops. , Let it bake for 20-30 minutes. , Or, if you're planning ahead and have someone to wash them for you, play some solitaire, or check your email, or read the next chapter in that Twilight book that you're re-reading.
