‍‍If you've been to Philly, or perhaps grew up nearby, you know what makes a true Philly cheesesteak.

So, Pennsylvanians will know that I am cheating...But, these stuffed peppers are so tasty, I doubt anyone will care!

True Philly cheesesteak features onions and...Cheez Whiz. Yep, that's right!

‍So, I did not use any Cheez Whiz, but your choices are your own...feel free to go for it!

Stuffed peppers are a terrific dinner option. They seem a little fancy, but are super simple, healthy, and delicious! There are so many flavor possibilities! Typically, you begin with meat and veggies. Maybe cheese or a sauce. Rice is also popular. Without it, stuffed peppers make a low-carb dinner. They could also be a great way to repurpose leftovers.

So, brown some steak and let's get stuffing!
