Recipe – Philly Cheese Steak Stuffed Peppers

Today I want to share one of the recipes that we have found and modified while losing weight that I love! It is (as the title has alluded to) Philly Cheese Steak Stuffed Peppers! They are a great protein rich low carb recipe.

Ingredients

• 2 green bell peppers
• 8 slices of provolone cheese (or any cheese you like, we use mozzarella)
• 1 medium onion, chopped

• 2 Tbsp of unsalted butter
• 2Tbsp olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic
• dash of salt to taste
• dash of black pepper to taste

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400. Slice peppers in half lengthwise, remove ribs and seeds.
2. Slice onions and mushrooms. Saute over medium heat with butter, olive oil, minced garlic and a little salt and pepper. Saute until onions and mushroom are nice and caramelized. About 25-30 minutes.
3. Add meat and cook meat through. Drain juice when done cooking.
4. Line the inside of the pepper with a slice of cheese.
5. Fill each pepper with meat mixture.
6. Cover each filled pepper with another slice of cheese.

Bake for 15-20 minutes or until cheese is to desired brown color.
