As I said not long ago in my Southwestern Stuffed Poblano Peppers post, my husband had been bugging me to make him stuffed peppers for quite a while.  But regular-ol' stuffed peppers are just not my thing.

When I was a kid, my Mom used to make the ones stuffed with rice and ground beef slathered in some kind of tomato sauce.  You know, it was a flavor combination I just didn't like.

But when I came across the idea for Philly Cheese Steak stuffed peppers, I knew I had found some stuffed peppers I could get into.

These peppers are tasty, tasty, tasty.  And, without the bread, they're a lower-carb way to enjoy a Philly cheese steak, to boot.

I mean, seriously, stuffing all the yummy flavors of a Philly Cheese Steak into a pepper and topping it with melty provolone cheese?  It's genius.  And I just had to give it a try.

And I must say, I was certainly not disappointed.  And neither was my stuffed-peppers-requesting husband.

These peppers are tasty, tasty, tasty.  And, without the bread, they're a lower-carb way to enjoy a Philly cheese steak, to boot.

Just how do you make these tasty stuffed peppers?  It's super easy.

First de-seed some green bell pepper halves and line the inside of them with provolone cheese ...

Then saute onions and fresh mushrooms until they're soft ...

Then heap the roast beef mixture inside the pepper halves.  Really, really get those peppers as full as can be.  Heap them on up.  Because the filling mixture will squish down as the peppers bake.

Cover the top of each pepper with another slice of provolone cheese ...

And then bake it all up until the peppers are soft, and the cheese is all melted into a slightly browned, gooey mess.

The green peppers will turn fork-tender.  And when combined with the onions, peppers, and roast beef of the filling, give the taste of a warm cheesy Philly cheese steak in every bite.

So if you're looking for a different twist on stuffed peppers, bake up a pan of these cheesy beauties.  Then get ready to dive in and enjoy your Philly Cheese Steak ... stuffed pepper style!

  16. Is the roast beef health for you? Or will Turkeyburger be better on the healthy side?
