Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers

This recipe for Philly cheesesteak stuffed peppers is like the classic sandwich, but without all the carbs! An easy and filling meal that will please the whole family.

I am a sucker for a good cheesesteak sandwich, but sometimes they can be a little carb heavy with all that bread. These Philly cheesesteak stuffed peppers have the same flavors, but without the carbs! Stuffed peppers always make for a great meal, and this version is loaded with cheese, steak, mushrooms and onions.

I bake my peppers to soften them up a bit before I stuff them. You can use any color bell pepper you like, I went with a combo of red, orange and yellow, which tend to be sweeter than the standard green bell peppers. While the peppers are baking, I prepare the filling which is simply mushrooms, onions and steak. You can use your favorite cut of steak here. I used flank steak, but rib eye or sirloin would also be good bets. The steak needs to be sliced very thin before it goes in the pan. I partially freeze my whole steaks before slicing them, it makes it SO much easier to get ultra thin pieces.

A cheesesteak isn’t complete without plenty of cheese! Each pepper gets a double dose of provolone cheese for maximum flavor. The peppers take a quick trip under the broiler to get all that cheese melted and browned. A little sprinkling of parsley and you’ve got meaty, cheesy perfection.

Whether you’re watching your carbs or simply want a hearty meal, these Philly cheesesteak stuffed peppers fit the bill! They’re so popular in my house that they’ve become part of our regular dinner rotation. I like to serve these stuffed peppers with a green salad for a complete meal.
