Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers Recipe
Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers is like the classic sandwich, but without all the carbs! It’s a really super easy and filling meal that will please the entire family. I love a good cheesesteak sandwich, but they can be a little carb heavy with all the bread.
These Philly cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers have the same flavors, but without the carbs! Stuffed peppers always make for a great meal. This version is loaded with cheese, steak, peppers and onions. These Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers are so perfect for Keto-dieters. They are also a fun meal to make if you are gluten-free.
What’s even better? They are great for meal–prepping. You can make all the ingredients ahead of time and quickly pop one in the oven on a busy weeknight.
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
