Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large bell peppers (any color)
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 cup provolone cheese, shredded
  • 8 slices bacon

Instructions

Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to get it ready for baking the stuffed peppers.

Prepare the Peppers

Start by cutting the tops off the bell peppers and removing the seeds and membranes. This will create the perfect vessel for your Philly cheesesteak filling. Set the prepared peppers aside, ready to be stuffed.

Cook the Beef Mixture

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, diced onions, and sliced mushrooms until the beef is browned and the vegetables are tender. This will take about 7-10 minutes. Once the beef is cooked through, add the minced garlic, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Stuff the Peppers

Time to bring it all together! Carefully fill each bell pepper with the savory beef mixture, packing it in tightly. Top each stuffed pepper with a generous amount of shredded provolone cheese, ensuring every bite is ooey-gooey and delicious.

Wrap with Bacon

The final touch is to carefully wrap each stuffed pepper with 2 slices of bacon, securing them with toothpicks if necessary. This will create a crispy, flavor-packed exterior that will have your guests begging for more.

Bake and Serve

Place the bacon-wrapped, stuffed peppers in a baking dish and pop them in the preheated oven. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the peppers are tender. Once they’re out of the oven, let them cool for a few minutes, then serve hot and enjoy every bite of this flavor-packed masterpiece!

Notes

To ensure your Bacon Wrapped Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers turn out perfectly, here are a few helpful tips and techniques:

  • Browning the Beef: Take the time to properly brown the ground beef before adding the other ingredients. This will enhance the flavor and texture of the filling.
  • Achieving Crispy Bacon: To get that irresistible crunch without overcooking the peppers, consider par-cooking the bacon slices before wrapping the peppers. This will help the bacon crisp up in the oven without drying out the peppers.
  • Even Cooking: Make sure to cut the peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes. This will help the peppers cook evenly and ensure the filling heats through completely.
