Ingredients
Scale
4 large bell peppers, halved and seeded
1 lb ground beef
1 medium onion, sliced
1 green bell pepper, sliced
8 oz mushrooms, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup provolone cheese, shredded
1/4 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp onion powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
Add sliced onion, green bell pepper, mushrooms, and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir to combine.
Place the halved bell peppers in a baking dish. Spoon the beef and vegetable mixture evenly into the pepper halves.
Top each stuffed pepper with shredded provolone and mozzarella cheese.
Pour about 1/4 inch of water into the bottom of the baking dish.
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the meat mixture.
You can substitute the ground beef with thinly sliced steak for a more traditional cheesesteak flavor.
Feel free to add other keto-friendly vegetables like zucchini or spinach.
