Easy Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers

What’s not to love about a Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich with copious amounts of ooey-gooey mozzarella cheese, sliced beef, mushrooms, and bell peppers? Did you say carbs? Like you, I’m trying to cut back on carbs, so I took my recipe for a Philly Cheesesteak sandwich, ditched the bread, and created this easy Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers Recipe. It’s all the flavors of a family favorite, just keto-friendly without the bread.

Making a Philly Cheesesteak Better

Extra Mushrooms Please

My homemade keto Philly cheesesteaks are loaded with extra peppers and mushrooms. One, I like the flavor. Two, vegetables are cheaper than meat, especially the thinly sliced deli roast beef I use in this recipe. I use extra peppers and mushrooms in this Philly cheesesteak stuffed green bell peppers recipe for better flavor and to save me money.

Meal Prep Friendly

This recipe is a great weeknight meal to add to your weekly menu because it only takes about 40-45 minutes to make, can be prepped ahead of time, or batch cooked and frozen. I honestly think it tastes better the second day. 

I use thinly sliced deli roast beef in this recipe. I know sliced rib-eye or sirloin steak is more traditional in cheesesteaks. I prefer to buy pre-cooked at the deli. It’s just easier. When you make this at home, you can opt for rib-eyes or something else.

To save time, prep and cook the vegetables and roast beef ahead of time. Store them in the refrigerator. When you’re ready to make dinner, continue with the recipe by heating up the vegetables and meat over medium-high heat. Then add the cheese, stuff the peppers, and bake. When the cheese on top is melted and turning golden, they are done.

Feeding a Crowd?

If you are feeding a crowd,  this recipe can also be converted to a sheet pan recipe by doubling or tripling the recipe. Roast beef can be expensive if feeding a crowd, so I usually swap the deli roast beef for ground beef.

Cook the meat separately and then add into the finished vegetables. Instead of cooking the peppers in a baking dish, use a baking sheet. Cut the peppers in half and lay out onto a large baking sheet. Scoop the Philly cheese steak stuffing onto each and top with cheese. Here you can use shredded or slices of provolone or mozzarella to make things easier. 

Making a Philly Cheesesteak Keto-Friendly

Because we ditched the bread, this recipe is gluten free and has low carbs. I LOVE bread but don’t miss it in this keto diet recipe for Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers which makes 4 whole bell peppers. My kids aren’t huge fans of sweet peppers, but they will eat their weight in these.

Camping Recipe Modification

Take these Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Bell Peppers on your next camping trip. There are a couple of different ways to cook them outdoors such as a foil meal, in a camping Dutch oven, or grilled and deconstructed.  

Prepare the filling according to the directions below using a skillet over medium heat on a camp stove or over the campfire. As a foil meal, stuff each pepper and wrap in two layers of heavy duty foil. Place on a camping grate over medium heat. Cook until the peppers are soft.

Using a cast iron Dutch oven, cook over the campfire or use charcoal to regulate the temperature.

If you prefer to grill the peppers, do that and then serve them topped with the meat and veggies, and provolone cheese. There are a bunch of options when cooking outdoors. Add salt and pepper to your taste and they will all taste great.
