What Peppers Do I Use for Stuffed Peppers?

I know the first thing someone will say is that you don’t put green peppers on a Philly Cheesesteak, but they are the perfect container for a low carb dinner (you’ve got to try these Mexican Stuffed Peppers too)! I like to use green bell peppers for this recipe but you can substitute with red, orange, or yellow bell peppers if you prefer.

Do You Cook Stuffed Peppers Covered or Uncovered?

For this recipe I cover the dish with the peppers and bake while I prepare the filling. Then once the peppers are stuffed and covered with cheese I bake them for the remaining time uncovered. This helps ensure that the peppers bake long enough to soften them without overcooking the filling. I think the extra bake time is necessary for green bell peppers since they tend to be firmer than the red, orange, and yellow varieties.

Can You Freeze Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers?

Yes! stuffed peppers are a great recipe to make ahead of time and freeze. To freeze stuffed peppers follow these instructions:

  2. In a skillet add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and once heated add diced onions cooking until translucent, approximately 5 minutes.
  3. Add steak to the skillet and continue to cook until steak is cooked through, approximately 5 minutes. Salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Slice bell peppers in half from top to bottom and remove seeds and white ribs. Place peppers cut side up in a casserole dish with about 1/4 inch of water on the bottom.
  5. Sprinkle each pepper with a little salt and stuff peppers with steak filling and top each with 1 slice of Provolone cheese.
