One of my favorite ways to ensure we eat dinner at home and as a family more often is to have some meals already prepared. By taking the leg work out of a meal, we are more likely to stay home and eat than go out. This saves money, which is nice, but it also helps us eat healthier.

These philly cheesesteak stuffed bell peppers are low carb and keto friendly, while boasting tons of amazing flavor from the seasonings, mustard, and worcestershire sauce used.

Making stuffed peppers typically involves a few steps:

1. Cook the filling.
2. Clean and cut the peppers.
3. Stuff the peppers
4. Bake
5. Eat and enjoy!

Because you cook the filling before you ever put it in the peppers, then you bake it some more to cook the peppers themselves, I love using ground beef because it isn’t going to get all dried out when you basically double cook it.

Tip: If you are worried about overcooking, par boil or even microwave your peppers for a few minutes so you can bake for a shorter time period, just enough to melt the cheese, and still have your whole meal be done.

Philly Cheese Steak Stuffed Peppers Tips

• If you want a really cheesy topping, double up on the cheese, and cover with foil for part of the baking time. As you can see in this photo, the cheese got nice and crispy. But that is how I wanted it. So if you want stringy, with tons of cheese in every bite, then add more and cover!
• Taste your filling. Adding it to the bell pepper will definitely add some flavor, but the filling flavor is not going to change a whole lot. So if you do not like it on its own, you won’t like it stuffed in a pepper. Taste and adjust to your preference, just like you would with these Beef Stuffed Zucchini Boats (Low Carb)
• Make ahead and freeze before the baking part to have a quick and mess free dinner on busy nights. Just keep in mind, defrosting a whole pepper takes time, so don’t forget to pull the pepper out of the freezer early enough.
