Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers


PHILLY CHEESESTEAK STUFFED PEPPERS
I'm not going to lie, as soon as this 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 peppers are great for lunch, dinner or even as an appetizer.  I hope you enjoy them as much as we have.


INGREDIENTS
8 oz. Thinly Sliced Roast Beef
8 Slices Provolone Cheese
2 Large Green Bell Peppers
1 Medium Sweet Onion – Sliced
6 oz. Baby Bella Mushrooms - Sliced
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.

In a large sauté pan over low-medium heat, add butter, olive oil, garlic, mushrooms onions and a little salt and pepper.  Sauté until onions and mushroom are nice and caramelized.  About 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.

  7. 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. This looks delicious! I will be trying this soon!

  17. 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!

  19. 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.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  28. 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.

    1. Here's an idea for anyone else wondering: We are going to try it with fajita chicken next! I think it will turn out rather nicely!

      Delete
    2. I used thin sliced sirloin tip(sandwich)steak, cooked it fast (seperate from the onions & mushrooms). Much better flavor! Do not like that pre-made stuff!

      Delete
    3. Steak'ums would work. Or sukiyaki meat, if they have it where you live.

      Delete
    4. If you slightly freeze (line an hour) a thin steak (sirloin or flank steak) it holds together well enough that you can slice it razor thin with a good knife. just let it defrost after cutting and cook really quickly in a pan w. salt and pepper.

  48. This was excellent! Definately a "have again"! We used pastrami and it was still over the top. The secret is caramelizing the onions with that o so fragrant garlic. Delish! Thanks for sharing!

    ReplyDelete
  49. These look and sound yummy!. I found you through Pinterest and am glad i did. I read through the comments and got a few tips to use as well...but always when i make a new recipe i make it by the recipe the first time and then if it stays in the cook book i do things to it. thanks for sharing.

    ReplyDelete
  50. I made this tonight and I loved it! I didn't have provolone cheese I had low fat Swiss. It was still awesome! Husband isn't a fan of mushrooms so his comment was less mushrooms and more cheese. And I used Schneider's Naturals thin sliced roast beef.
    This one is definitely a keeper and will go directly into my cookbook! I paired it with oven roasted potatoes and a salad. Easy clean up too, one pan and piece of tin foil!

    ReplyDelete
  51. Just made this tonight, it was very good. I used cheddar cheese. The only suggestion I have is to precook the peppers a little because after 20 minutes they were still a little hard. Very easy meal.

    ReplyDelete
  52. I have to add my praise and tell you these were amazing. I am making them again tonight. Thanks for the awesome recipe.

  56. You could also do this as a no-tortilla fajita. Sub chicken or steak for the roast beef, and monterrey jack for the provolone. Can't wait to try both!

    ReplyDelete
  57. I made this tonight, and HOLY COW!!!!Delish!!! I am a very hard critic on food that I cook, and I loved it so much I couldn't stop talking about it for twenty minutes after we were done eating!

  64. I was so excited when I found this recipe couldn't wait to try it! I was a hit with my three guys and I, too, had a problem with the peppers being not quite difficult done like another person however still a hit. I did add a dash of Cayenne pepper as my family likes a bit of heat in almost everything. My husband said next time we will grill the peppers first to help with the tenderness. Thank you so much for sharing!

  65. i made these today. stuffed the whole pepper instead of halfed (peppers were small) and put in my 4 quart electric roaster on low for several hours. I cooked them longer because I like the peppers softer/well done. FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! definitely a keeper

    ReplyDelete
  66. Where I live, we can get thinly sliced uncooked beef for sukiyaki, so I used that, and cooked it along with the onions and mushrooms. These were fantastic! great, simple concept. Also, I par-cooked the peppers by putting them in a casserole dish in the microwave with a half cup of water, covered with saran wrap, for 5 inutes. Beware of hot steam when you open it! Came out great.

    ReplyDelete
  67. I loved this recipe!

    ReplyDelete
  68. Made a modified version- Roasted the peppers first- used Red/Yellow. Sauteed the Onions and mushrooms in beef broth and butter. Only used 1 slice of cheese and drizzled LC bbq sauce on them. absolutely delish! Thanks for the inspiration!

    ReplyDelete
  69. I just made this dish today. I used pepper jack cheese instead of provolone. It turned out great!

    ReplyDelete
  70. This was great & my husband LOVED them. I also added a habanero/buffalo cheese for a bit of kick & used thinly sliced pieces of rare roast beef. Excellent. Will be making these again. thank you.

    ReplyDelete
  71. I made these with an orange pepper, colby jack cheese on the bottom, and pepper jack on top. I didn't have any sort of steak or beef, so I sauteed onions and sliced jalapenos with sliced ham, sprinkled with Johnny's seasoning and minced garlic. I didn't use any butter, just olive oil. I cooked just a bit under 15 minutes, I like my peppers still a little firm. They turned out really yummy! The Johnny's adds a great kick!

    ReplyDelete
  72. Fabulous. Easy and exceptionally delicious. Thank you!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  73. P.S. I slice up the leftovers and eat them in a low-carb wrap the next day. Good hot or cold!

  80. I just saw this recipe on FB. I was going to share it until I read an article by Blogher about people not giving credit properly. I searched the recipe to be safe and found your blog. I did tell the offender on fb that she needed to properly credit you. It looks like she even used your picture. I'm sorry that people are taking credit for your work. Looks like a great recipe though. I can't wait to try it.

  81. Made these tonight using grass-fed chipped steak. I parboiled the peppers. Before baking I put organic mayo on some on top of the bottom layer of cheese before the meat, and pizza sauce on the others on top of the meat under the top layer of cheese. They were soooo incredibly delicious! Thanks for the recipe!

    ReplyDelete
  82. This was so so yummy! I made it tonight, I actually used one white onion, one sweet onion, and upped the roast beef a little more...also didn't have as many green peppers (because some of them were going bad, boo), so I put it all in a casserole dish (green peppers first, smoked provolone slices, and then all of the stuffing, and more provolone. Cooked for about 10 minutes and voila, delicious philly cheesesteak casserole! Thanks for the recipe, I'll be making this one again!
