Description
Philly Cheesesteak Bell Pepper Bites are a low-carb twist on the classic Philly cheesesteak, with tender beef, sautéed onions, and mushrooms all nestled in sweet bell pepper halves and topped with melty provolone cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large green bell peppers, halved lengthwise and seeded
- 1 (14 oz) package thinly sliced frozen Philly beef steak
- 1 large sweet onion, diced
- 1 (6 oz) package sliced baby bella mushrooms, diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon Montreal steak seasoning (or to taste)
- 6 slices provolone cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Place the bell pepper halves on a baking sheet, cut side up, and bake for 10–15 minutes, or until slightly softened.
- While the peppers bake, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes, or until softened and browned.
- Add the garlic and sliced Philly beef steak to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the beef is heated through and cooked to your liking.
- Season the beef and vegetable mixture with Montreal steak seasoning and stir to combine.
- Remove the bell peppers from the oven. Evenly distribute the Philly beef mixture into each bell pepper half.
- Top each filled bell pepper half with a slice of provolone cheese.
- Return the peppers to the oven and bake for 5–7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- Use other cheeses like mozzarella or cheddar if you prefer a different flavor.
- For extra heat, sprinkle some crushed red pepper flakes or jalapeños on top before baking.
- These make a great appetizer or low-carb meal option.
