  How to Make Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers – Step by Step

   

  Preparing the Peppers

   

  1. Preheat Your Oven
     Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures the peppers bake evenly.
     
     
  2. Prepare the Peppers
     Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Arrange them in a baking dish for even cooking.
     
     

     Making the Filling

      

  3. Sauté the Vegetables
     In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and sliced mushrooms, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes.
     
     
  4. Cook the Beef
     Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned and crumbled, about 7-10 minutes.
     
     
  5. Add Flavorings
     Stir in minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes for aromatic flavors.
     
     
  6. Incorporate Cheese
     Remove the skillet from heat. Stir in half the shredded provolone cheese until melted.
     
     

     Assembling the Peppers

      

  7. Stuff the Peppers
     Fill each bell pepper with the beef mixture, packing it tightly for the best flavor.
     
     
  8. Cheesy Toppings
     Top each stuffed pepper with the remaining provolone cheese.
     
     

     Baking the Dish

      

  9. First Bake
     Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
     
     
  10. Final Bake
      Remove foil and return to the oven for another 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
      
      
  11. Cooling Down
      Allow to cool slightly before serving.
