How to Make Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers

Choosing the Peppers

Any color bell pepper works well. Red, orange and yellow bell peppers tend to be sweeter, while green bell peppers are less sweet and slightly bitter. Opt for larger peppers that can hold all of the filling.

Choosing the Steak

We like top round steak for this recipe because it’s lean and relatively inexpensive. If you can’t find top round, flank steak, sirloin or strip steak are all good alternatives. If you want to skip the steak altogether, you can use ground beef in its place. For a lighter flavor, you can substitute thinly sliced chicken breast or thigh for the steak or use ground turkey. To make these Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers vegetarian, you can use crumbled tofu or another meat substitute in place of the steak and use vegetarian Worcestershire sauce.

How to Broil

To melt the cheese on top, you’ll want to broil your peppers about 5 inches from the heat source. Broilers vary in intensity, so watch carefully as they cook to prevent burning.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)

  • Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
