1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Place the bell peppers in a baking dish.

6. Remove the skillet from heat and stir in half of the shredded cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

7. Spoon the beef and spinach mixture into the hollowed-out bell peppers, pressing down gently to pack the filling.

8. Top each stuffed pepper with the remaining shredded cheese.

9. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

10. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Special Tips or Variations:

- You can add diced tomatoes or cooked corn to the filling mixture for extra flavor and texture.

- Feel free to use ground chicken or turkey instead of beef for a lighter version.

- Garnish with chopped fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro before serving for a burst of freshness.
