philly cheesesteak stuffed bell peppers
This is a great idea.. I can have all the flavors of the cheese steak and no bread. Love this.
Can these be microwaved after they have been cooked? My husband would love these to take to work.
just shorten the oven baking time so the pepper isn’t over cooked and gets soft
Yes Brandi, definitely 🙂
I would bake them first and then just reheat in the microwave…….I think they would taste better that way.
wanted to share
These are in the oven as I’m typing this! I love onions but they don’t love me, so I substituted jalapeño instead. The smell coming from my oven is divine, I can’t wait. Thanks for the recipe!
I have made this exact recipe and they were delicious, but extremely watery after baked… did I do something wrong? I poked a hole in the cooked pepper and water literally poured out. Suggestions? I made sure to really cook down the onions/mushrooms and press out extra water, so I don’t think that was the problem.
Substituted sliced chicken breasts for the beef and made chicken cheese phillies instead. Very good!
very nice and handy
bell peppers hold a decent amount of water. perhaps you could try pre-baking the peppers for 10-15 min then drain them. add the cheese and filling then top with cheese and put back into oven to melt.
The family I home health/cook/clean, etc etc for, they do not like bell peppers. So we came up with another solution, we do the same thing, but with baked potatoes instead. It is one of our favorite meals!
Wow! Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Potatoes? Yum! I’m guessing you would make them as you would a twice baked potato? Great idea. I’m making the stuffed pepper version tonight, but will keep this potato idea in mind.
Cheers!
looks good and delicious. will try this at home. thanks!
I haven’t tried these yet but on my menu for next week! I will boil them for about 5 minutes first I think. That is how I cook my other recipes for stuffed bell peppers. Can’t wait to try these!
I think this is necessary. I made them last night and the peppers were too hard for our liking. I also made ours with beef and sausage. Will make again, but will boil the peppers first.
Im going to try this for dinner and was wondering how long to boil the peppers? and would I cut them in half before I boil them??
Made this recipe last night! So a delicious, easy, and clever meal! Posted a link to it on my blog (thehelmsfamilyblog.blogspot.com), hope you don’t mind! Thanks for the wonderful recipe!
I par-boiled my peppers and also used the colorful red, orange, and yellow ones. I then poked a hole in the bottom of the pepper halves and baked them on a broiling pan to catch the moisture. My entire family loved this recipe.
I made these today! I precooked my peppers due to past experience with peppers being too hard. They turned out FANTASTIC!!
how long did you precook these and how did you do that?
Here’s a link that explains how to boil peppers prior to stuffing and baking

What’s “peace and love” seasoning???
it’s your peace and love 🙂
This looks so good. My family would love this. Do you know what the WW points would be?
I just made this today… Absolutely Amazing! Thank you so much for sharing! I added some (uncooked) banana peppers on top of the meat mixture before putting the top layer of cheese on. SOOOO YUMMY!!!!
I substituted red bell peppers for the green. I find they don’t taste as bitter when stuffing and baking them. I also added just about a tablespoon or so of granulated sugar to the onions and mushrooms while I was sautéing them. I poked holes in the peppers before lining with cheese, they weren’t too watery. I personally like my baked stuffed peppers to have a bit of bite to them and not be so mushy. Delicious none-the-less, and a definite change! Served with french fries, (and beer).
I made these and the flavors are great, but the pepers were too hard. Microwaved the leftovers the next and they were perfect!
These look healthy and delicious- gotta try ’em!
I made these last night and my family went crazy for them. My husband and brother in law fought over the very few leftovers. I did boil the peppers for five minutes like other mentioned and they were perfect. I’m told I will be making them again very soon. Thank you for this wonderful recipe.
This is sooooo easy and quick! We loved it and will definitely have again. We added Italian seasoning and crushed red peppers because we like things somewhat spicier. Read someone added some jalapeño peppers. Will try those next.
I pre-roasted the peppers (red) with a little olive oil on them and then filled pepperoni, onions and mushrooms mixed with a little pizza sauce then topped with cheese and it was goooodddd.
They were delicious however next time I will precook peppers first
I cooked these until the cheese was golden brown but my peppers were still hard I didnt cover them with anything while baking was I suppose it? I cooked them for 30 mins in a gas stove do you think that might have made a difference?
I never would’ve though to do cheese steaks this way, this is awesome! I can have Philly cheese steaks without all the carbs from the bread, thank you so much for sharing this with everyone. My family loves it, and I have definitely pinned this to my Pinterest board! 🙂
I made these and they were delicious. I’m glad I read the comments because they definitely need to be blanched for 5min. The only thing I changed was that I added a Brick of cream cheese to the mixture and doubled the recipe. The Best!
What would be a good side dish to make with this?

I plan on making these tonight!! They look so delicious! Do you think it would be ok to pre make and stuff the peppers a couple of hours ahead of time and then just bake right at dinner time? Thanks!!
I made these for dinner tonight and they are sooooooo good! Looking forward to leftovers tomorrow. I used red peppers and I also blanched the peppers for 3 minutes and they came out perfect. Thank you so much for this quick and easy recipe!
Made this tonight and it was delicious. I boiled the cut and seeded peppers for about 4 minutes before filling. I used boar’s head roast beef and did not cook it with the shrooms and onion and it seriously tasted like an actual cheese steak. hubby loved! Glad I doubled the recipe so we have leftovers.
This was delicous! EVERYONE loved it, which is unusal. Just a few leftovers (I did 10 peppers, and the next days, they were sliced up for sandwiches. On the list of favorites now.
Can’t wait to try them!
Just made these last night, sooo good! However I subbed sweet peppers (from costco) for the mushrooms and added about a tablespoon of Sweet baby Ray’s BBQ sause to the filling.
My niece & nephew made these for us. Absolutely wonderful. Just heat and eat!!
I used orange bell peppers, everything turned out great but could use a little more flavoring next time….thanks for a good, fast recipe
These were delicious! I included them in my weekly meal plan this week. Thanks for the recipe.
made this for dinner and it was so amazing . everyone wants it again thank you
I made this yesterday and my husband LOVED it. He is eating leftover of it right now. He told me he bragged about it at work today 🙂
I made this recipe for 2, using one pepper cut in half. After cleaning the pepper I microwaved it for a minute and a half, then blotted any juices with a paper towel before stuffing them. Followed the rest of the recipe, added a few shakes of Montreal Steak seasoning and OMG, these are DELICIOUS. Highly recommended. We had side dishes of vegetables and a buttermilk biscuit. Thank you for the recipe!
Have you ever tried these with shredded chicken?? My fiance doesn’t eat beef :/.
I just bought some red and orange peppers and am going to try it with some boneless chicken breasts that I am going to shred and mix. I will let you know how they turn out. I am tempted to try these in the crock pot as it is supposed to be in the 90’s today.
So I made with the boneless skinless chicken breasts. I browned in a hot skillet then used about 1.5 cup of chicken stock to braise. I left the broth to cook the veggies in while I cut up the chicken. Added a little cornstarch to thicken and tossed all together with the chicken before spooning into the peppers. WOWSERS!! definitely adding to our dinner rotation
I made these last night & they were a hit! I used Oscar Mayer Deli Fresh sliced Roast Beef (it was on sale!), mozzarella on the inside & covered with provolone cuz I didn’t have enough of the Provolone to do both >_< I also boiled the peppers first for about 5 minutes or so & they didn't accumulate lots of water or anything when I baked them. They were soft enough to cut with a fork but still had a bite to them. Just yummy all around! Thanks!
This was really good.. We had three people and made the recipe according to ingredients minus the mushrooms. Everyone fought over the last one. Next time I will be doubling the recipe!
Made it! It was delicious!
Does anyone know if theses peppers would be fine after you freeze them?
You can’t go wrong with bell peppers, tomatoes, and cheese ~ Way to go, these stuffed peppers look divine…Yummm 😉
