before you get started / kelley’s tips
- Choose sturdy peppers. Use large bell peppers with even sides so they hold the filling well. Red, yellow, or orange peppers are also great for adding a touch of sweetness.
- Pre-cook the peppers. For softer peppers, I roast them before stuffing. While the peppers are roasting I prep the filling.
- Freeze the beef. Pop the beef in the freezer for 15 minutes to make slicing easier.

how to make cheesesteak stuffed peppers
- Bake the peppers. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Arrange bell peppers on a casserole dish. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake for 15 minutes (I let them bake while I assemble my filling.)
- Saute onions. Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add in onions and saute for 4-5 minutes or until the onions softened and get some color to them.
- Cook mushrooms. Add in mushrooms and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Cook the beef. To the same pan add the remaining tbsp of oil. Add in the sliced beef and cook until no longer pink, breaking it up as you go.
- Add the mushrooms and onions. Add the mushrooms and onions back to the pan. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Stuff the peppers. Remove the peppers from the oven and stuff with the beef mixture.
- Top with cheese. Top with provolone cheese.
- Bake the stuffed peppers. Bake for 10 minutes or until the cheese is melty and the peppers are tender. I like to broil mine for an additional 1-2 minutes to brown the cheese a bit. Serve immediately and enjoy!
