Stuffed Pepper Recipes
Most people have their favorite "bar food." What's yours? Mine would, hands down, be fried mushrooms and Philly Cheese Steak Sandwiches! To the point where it is always a struggle for me to order anything else off the menu in that sort of atmosphere. Why mess with a good thing?
So, back in 2014, I decided it was high time to get creative with my favorite sandwich and this Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Pepper Recipe was born.
Ingredients You Need For Your Stuffed Peppers
I think you already guessed some of what you need, the name kind of gave it away, but here is everything to have handy:
- Bell Peppers – Go traditional with green or feel free to pick your favorite colors.
- Roast Beef – I use sliced roast beef from the deli counter here. I choose the rare roast beef because it cooks again in the peppers.
- Sliced Provolone Cheese – Originally, I used shredded cheese for this recipe, and you can, but I have found that I like the thicker provolone slices to work better.
- Sliced Mushrooms – I use fresh baby Bella mushrooms, but sliced white mushrooms work great, too! In a pinch, grab a can of sliced mushrooms for your pantry.
- Onions – White or yellow is preferable, I typically reach for a sweet yellow onion.
- Butter – salted or unsalted works.
- Garlic – a couple of cloves of minced garlic, or take the shortcut and buy the kind in the jar.
- Seasoned Salt & Pepper – I always reach for the Lawry brand.
How To Make Philly Cheese Steak Stuffed Peppers
These cheesesteak peppers are easy to make and come together quickly. The "hardest part" is the slicing and chopping. My kind of recipe!
First, you want to start with cutting off the tops of your peppers. Devein the peppers and wash out any leftover seeds. Chop the tops of the peppers, set them aside.
Slice onion and mushrooms, set aside.
Slice up larger pieces of deli roast beef and set aside.
Next, Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place peppers in a baking dish prepared with non-stick cooking spray. Place a thick slice of Provolone cheese into the pepper — you can also substitute a generous "pinch" of shredded cheese.
In a skillet over medium heat melt butter.
Add garlic, mushrooms, chopped pepper, and onion and cook until caramelized, about 20 minutes.
Add meat, season with seasoned salt and pepper, and cook for 5 minutes more.
Divide the meat mixture evenly between peppers, cover, and bake for 20 minutes.
Uncover, top each pepper with a slice of cheese and bake for 10 minutes more. Serve hot.

Do I have to cook the meat first when I make Stuffed Peppers?
All of my stuffed pepper recipes contain meat. Most use ground beef, but in the case of these Philly Cheesesteak Peppers, I use rare roast beef.
I don't cook the meat in the other versions, because the meat cooks as the pepper does. For this recipe, the deli roast beef is already cooked. Again, I always get the rare roast beef, because it will cook more inside the pepper.
What is a good side dish for stuffed peppers?
For me personally, I don't make a side dish for stuffed peppers. It's a one-pot meal that has it all included. But say you are wanting to add a little something to the meal for a dinner party? Starting with a nice green salad or a soup like my Tomato Basil would be fantastic!
