What is in Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers?
- Bell Peppers - to replace the bun of the classic sandwich, bell peppers are used as the shell and stuffed with all the great fillings of the classic sandwich. Thinly sliced peppers are also sautéed with the steak for the filling
- Steak - my preferred cut is ribeye for these stuffed peppers, however, you can use any store bought thinly sliced steak (ex. some stores sell pre-sliced steak specifically for cheesesteak sandwiches)
- Provolone Cheese - the classic cheese for a Philly cheesesteak. If you can buy it in a block or brick you can shred it or use slices of provolone cheese instead
- Substitutes - mozzarella, swiss cheese, gruyere, or white cheese of choice
- Garlic, Salt and Pepper - the simple but delicious seasonings of a Philly cheesesteak
