Philly Cheese Style Stuffed Peppers

Preparing the Peppers

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare Bell Peppers: Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. If needed, trim the bottom slightly to help them stand upright. Place the bell peppers in a baking dish.

Cooking the Filling

3. Cook Beef: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef or sliced beef steak and cook until browned. If using sliced steak, cook until it’s no longer pink. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
4. Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and mushrooms. Cook until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
5. Combine Ingredients: Return the beef to the skillet with the onions and mushrooms. Add the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Assembling the Stuffed Peppers

6. Stuff Peppers: Place a slice of provolone cheese inside the bottom of each bell pepper. Fill the peppers with the beef and vegetable mixture, packing it down gently.
7. Top with Cheese: Place another slice of provolone cheese on top of the stuffed peppers. Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese.

Baking

8. Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the peppers are tender.

Serving

9. Garnish: Remove the stuffed peppers from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
10. Serve: Serve the Philly Cheese Style Stuffed Peppers hot, with a side salad or your favorite side dish.
