Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Fill a baking pan with 1/2 inch of water.
- Place squash halves, cut-sides down, in the prepared pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes.
- While squash is baking, heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat; stir in onion and bell pepper. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in beans, tomatoes, and frozen corn.
- Remove squash from the oven. Carefully turn each half over, fill with bean and veggie mixture, and top with shredded cheese.
- Return to the oven and bake until cheese is bubbling and squash is tender, about 20 more minutes.
