Low Carb Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers

Oops I did it again.  Apparently the philly cheesesteak obsession is here to stay…  In that case, let’s check out the latest low carb stuffed pepper 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 to make low carb philly cheesesteak stuffed peppers! 

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…

Then stuff the peppers with filling and add more cheese on top.  Place under the broiled to melt cheese or simply cover the pan and allow cheese to melt.

So there you have it… Stuffed peppers with philly cheesesteak!!  Looking for more philly cheesesteak stuffed pepper recipes? Check out the following awesome blogs for more ideas:
