Luckily, we've stuffed all the goodness of a Philly cheesesteak into fresh peppers to come up with this diabetic-friendly recipe for Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers.
What You'll Need
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1 tablespoon margarine
- 1 cup thinly sliced onion
- 1 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms

- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 slice low-salt deli roast beef, cut into 1/2-inch strips
- 4 slice mozzarella cheese, cut in half
- 2 large green bell peppers, sliced in half, seeds removed, blanched (see Note)
What to Do
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil and margarine and saute onions, mushrooms, garlic, salt and black pepper for 10-12 minutes, or until tender. Remove from heat and stir in roast beef.
- Place a piece of cheese inside each green pepper and fill evenly with meat mixture. Cover with foil and bake 20 minutes.
