Low Carb Philly Cheesesteaks

One of my most popular recipes on pinterest is the Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers recipe. It’s a match made in heaven — pairing steak and cheese, onions and mushrooms with peppers.

I wanted to do a variation of this recipe to kick off my new blog, so I went back to the drawing board and incorporated some tips that were given to me in the comment section, like pre-cooking the peppers so they’re much more tender. Thanks for the great tip, friendly commenter!

In addition, I found thinly-sliced beef at Trader Joe’s so I used that, but sliced deli roast beef as in the original recipe will work in a pinch. Use your favorite cheese to customize this dish to your own personal flavor.

This recipe is great for anyone avoiding carbs, and believe it or not you won’t miss the bread! It makes great leftovers, too. This is the recipe so nice you’ll eat it twice!
