1-1/2 teaspoons salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 cup uncooked orzo pasta
1 each medium green, sweet red and yellow peppers, chopped
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup chicken broth

1 cup (4 ounces) quesadilla or Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
Instructions
Place pork in a 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Bake at 325 ° for 1-1/2 hours or until tender. Remove pork from oven. Increase oven setting to 350 °.

In a small saucepan, whisk the chicken broth, mole sauce, tomato paste and remaining salt. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Pour over orzo and vegetables. Stir in pork; sprinkle with cheese. Cover and bake 35-40 minutes or until heated through. Uncover; broil 3-4 in. from the heat for 4-5 minutes or until cheese is golden brown.
FREEZE OPTION: Cool unbaked casserole; cover and freeze. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Bake casserole as directed, increasing time as necessary to heat through.
