Why You Will Love this Recipe
These Low Carb Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers are so easy to make but truly loaded with the flavor of one of your favorite sub sandwiches. This has quickly become one of my favorite weeknight recipes. It is a hit with the family and comes together quickly.
What You Need
- Bell Peppers – I used a mix of red and green bell peppers, you can use your preference
- Mushrooms – we kept it simple with the pre-sliced mushrooms in the produce section
- Onion
- Garlic
- Worcestershire Sauce – this helps give a lovely caramelized flavor to the beef mixture (to keep this recipe gluten free and Whole30, replace with coconut aminos)
- Ground Beef – typically you would see a sliced beef, but I wanted to use ground beef to keep it simple and use an ingredient that most of us always have on hand
- Garlic Powder
- Onion Powder
- Salt & Pepper
- Shredded White Cheddar Cheese – traditionally, Philly cheesesteak has provolone but I like the creaminess and punch of flavor that the white cheddar brings
We enjoyed these Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers with my Spicy Garlic Aioli on top, it is the perfect condiment and really added a punch of flavor to the dish!

- Fill the peppers with the equal amounts (about 1/2 cup) of mixture and then top with the shredded cheesePlace back under the broiler for 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese (be careful not to burn)Serve with optional Spicy Garlic Aioli and enjoy!
Notes
The best way to clean mushrooms is with a damp paper towel so they don’t absorb too much water before cooking

These were delicious as well as quick and easy which I love for a weeknight dinner. My husband put the filling in a low carb pita and loved it as well. Definitely make the garlic aoli, it really kicks it up a notch! Will be making this again for sure.
