Oops I did it again. Apparently the philly cheesesteak obsession is here to stay… In that case, let’s check out the latest recipe!!! The bell peppers make the perfect low carb edible bowl for the beefy, cheesy filling. I also discovered a way to cook the peppers so you can make this in one pan on the stovetop. I have used 2 types of cheese -queso melting cheese along with the traditional provolone cheese. Below I have step by step pics to show you exactly how easy it is to make this delicious low carb philly cheesesteak stuffed pepper recipe!
Feel free to use any type of steak you prefer. Here I have thinly sliced minute steak to which I’ll add worcestershire sauce. The steak will be cooked to a delicious golden brown.
Here are the bell peppers atop a bed of sliced onions. These will be covered to help soften the peppers without having to bake them in the oven.
Once the peppers cook and steam, they will start to brown and soften. This will make them tender and easier to eat.
The onions are mixed with the cooked steak before being stuffed into the bell peppers.
Place 1/2 slice provolone into the bottom of each pepper half…
Melted cheese mixed with beef and onions in a bell pepper-low carb, easy and delicious.
