  1. Preheat oven to 375°; spray rimmed baking pan with cooking spray. Place mushroom caps, gill side up, on prepared pan; drizzle with broth. Bake mushrooms 15 minutes; reserve any liquid remaining in caps.
  2. In large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add bacon; cook 4 minutes or until crisp, stirring occasionally. With slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towel-lined plate.
  3. In same skillet with drippings, cook bell pepper and mushroom stems 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add garlic; cook 1 minute or until fragrant, stirring frequently. Add reserved liquid; cook 3 minutes or until liquid is absorbed, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and cool slightly; stir in mozzarella cheese, sauce, salt and black pepper. Makes about ¾ cup.
  4. In small bowl, stir Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs. Fill mushrooms with bell pepper mixture; top with bacon and breadcrumb mixture. Bake mushrooms 10 minutes or until golden brown and heated through; sprinkle with rosemary, if desired. Makes 18 poppers.
