Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers

These Philly Cheesecake Stuffed Peppers are low carb, Keto and gluten-free. I love a good Philly cheesesteak sandwich, but not the carbs. So in this recipe, we skip the bread and fill a delicious pepper with steak, onions, and cheese.

Peppers and Filling

Any color of pepper will work. I love the beautiful vibrant colors peppers give this dish.  I used both green and red peppers in this recipe. Cutting the peppers in half will speed up the baking time. This will also give you enough time to prepare the filling for the peppers. Can you smell the onions and mushrooms? Yum!

Steak

The steak needs to be thinly sliced. I used sirloin steak but you can choose your favorite. You can also ask your butcher to slice the steak for you.

Cheese

Add provolone cheese to the insides of the peppers and fill with cooked steak mixture. Top with a little more cheese and broil until golden and cheese is melted.

Note: If you are in the FWTFL Bootcamp, omit the cheese.
