Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers



Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers
I can't believe I did not think of this sooner.  I'm not going to lie, as soon as the idea came to me, I felt like a culinary genius. :)  If you can't tell by now, I like finding creative vessels for my dishes.  I have had a lot of fun with avocados with this same concept.  These pepper are great for lunch, dinner or even as an appetizer.  I hope you enjoy them as much as we did!!

INGREDIENTS
8 oz. Thinly Sliced Roast Beef
8 Slices Provolone Cheese
2 Large Green Bell Peppers
1 Medium Sweet Onion
6 oz. Baby Bella Mushrooms
2 Tbs. Butter
2 Tbs. Olive Oil
1 Tbs. Garlic - Minced
Salt and Pepper - to taste
(2 Tbs. Peace and Love)

DIRECTIONS
Slice peppers in half lengthwise, remove ribs and seeds.

Slice onions and mushrooms.  Saute over medium heat with butter, olive oil, minced garlic and a little salt and pepper.  Saute until onions and mushroom are nice and caramelized.  About 25-30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 400*

Slice roast beef into thin strips and add to the onion/mushroom mixture.  Allow to cook 5-10 minutes

Line the inside of each pepper with a slice of provolone cheese. 

Fill each pepper with meat mixture until they are nearly overflowing.

Top each pepper with another slice of provolone cheese.

Bake for 15-20 minutes until the cheese on top is golden brown. 

Serve and Enjoy!!

Makes 4 servings -  6 net carbs per serving 

Peace, Love, and Phillys

  6. I made these for dinner tonight. I just removed the tops of the peppers and the insides and stuffed the whole pepper. I followed the rest of the directions as written. I have a pan that makes 6 extra large muffins and put the whole peppers in there so they would be stable during cooking. My husband and teenaged sons LOVED these. One whole stuffed pepper with a serving of seasoned fries was a very hearty and very QUICK meal for a weeknight. Gotta love a gluten free meal that tastes good! Thanks so much for the recipe!

  16. Delicious! If you can find it, Steak-Ums work great instead of roast beef - more authentic cheesesteak meat, sliced super thin. Just cook the slices for a minute or two on each side, and they're good to go. Will try using four whole peppers with just the top sliced off next time. Thanks for these great and tasty low carb meals!

  18. Love this! I love the avocado idea too. My husband is very picky when it comes to veggies. He will let me make stuffed peppers, but will only eat the filling.. He does love avocados though.

  26. I found your recipe on Pinterest and made these the other night. I used frozen sandwich steaks because I would have been run out of Philly for using roast beef. It was a why didn't I think of this moment! They were great and more dinner like than the usual sandwich on a hoagie roll.
