Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers
Description
The recipe starts by roasting cored and halved green peppers in a casserole dish with a bit of water to steam and soften them. Separately, onions are sautéed until translucent, then thinly sliced steak is cooked in the same skillet until done, seasoned with salt and pepper. The pepper halves are filled with this steak and onion mixture and topped with slices of provolone cheese, then baked uncovered until the cheese melts and the peppers become tender.
This preparation gives the peppers a softened texture that holds the rich, savory filling and melted cheese. The result is a lower-carb, vegetable-forward take on a Philly cheesesteak without bread, allowing the pepper’s slight bitterness to contrast with the savory meat and creamy cheese.
This makes an approachable main dish suitable for dinner or lunch with a balance of protein, veggies, and cheese. Leftovers can be reheated and served as well.
