Ingredients
-
4 large green bell peppers, halved and seeds removed
-
1 lb thinly sliced beef (ribeye or sirloin works great)
-
1 tbsp olive oil
-
1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
-
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

8 slices provolone cheese

Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Place the halved bell peppers in a baking dish, cut side up. Bake for 10 minutes to slightly soften.

While the peppers bake, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
-
Add the onions and mushrooms. Sauté for 5-6 minutes until soft and golden.
-
Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute.
-
Add the sliced beef and Worcestershire sauce. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the beef is just cooked through. Season with salt and pepper.
-
Remove peppers from the oven. Place half a slice of provolone at the bottom of each pepper.

Fill each pepper with the beef mixture.
-
Top each stuffed pepper with another slice of provolone.

Bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

You can use red, yellow, or orange bell peppers if you prefer a sweeter flavor.

For extra spice, add a few dashes of hot sauce or sliced jalapeños.

Swap provolone with mozzarella or white American cheese if desired.
