Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers:
-
3 large green bell peppers (cut in half, seeds removed)
-
1 lb thinly sliced beef (ribeye or sirloin work great)
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
-
1 cup mushrooms, sliced (optional but recommended)
-
1 clove garlic, minced
-
Salt and pepper to taste
-
6 slices provolone cheese (or cheese of choice)
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place pepper halves in a baking dish and roast for 10 minutes to slightly soften.
-
Cook the filling: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and mushrooms; sauté until softened and golden. Add garlic, stir for 30 seconds, then add the sliced beef. Cook until just browned, seasoning with salt and pepper.
-
Assemble the peppers: Remove the peppers from the oven. Layer each half with a slice of provolone, fill with the beef mixture, then top with another slice of cheese.
-
Bake for another 10–15 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
-
Serve hot – Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and dig in!
Make It Your Own
-
Add heat: Toss in jalapeños or red pepper flakes.
-
Make it cheesy: Mix cream cheese into the beef filling for extra creaminess.
-
Go veggie: Substitute beef with portobello mushrooms or plant-based strips for a vegetarian twist.
