Recipe: Philly Cheese Stuffed Peppers

In the never-ending search for quick and easy recipes - I came across one for Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers. Sounded like a sure-fire winner so I went for it.

 Nothing too crazy for ingredients - rare roast beef, onion, worcestershire sauce, mushrooms and shredded cheese.

Saute your onion & mushroom together in a skillet...

While those are cooking up - clean out your peppers - I love the sweeter peppers in bright colors.

As for the roast beef - it was really simple - just get 1/4 pound of rare roast beef (which was more than enough for 3 peppers - probably better for 4 actually. You just dice it up and you're ready to go!

Then you mix in shredded cheese as well as your sauteed onions/mushrooms and worcestershire and stir it up.

Stuff your peppers...

And bake at 400 for 30 minutes! It's a very easy dish. I think if I were to make it again - I would definitely use a fourth pepper or cut the recipe in half. I also think adding some rice would make it even better! I've also seen some recipes that use slices of provolone instead of shredded cheese or a cheese sauce - both would be good.
