7. Bake: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
8. Add the cheese: Remove the foil, sprinkle the shredded Mexican cheese evenly over each pepper, and return to the oven. Bake uncovered for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
