### How to Make Easiest Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers
#### 1. **Prepare the Bell Peppers**
First, prepare your bell peppers to be stuffed with all that cheesy goodness.
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Cut the tops off the bell peppers and carefully remove the seeds and membranes. You can cut them in half lengthwise or leave them whole—whichever you prefer.
3. Place the peppers in a baking dish, standing up, and set them aside. You may want to place a small amount of water in the bottom of the dish to help them steam as they cook.
#### 2. **Cook the Steak and Onions**
The key to a great Philly cheesesteak is caramelized onions and tender beef, so let’s cook them up!
1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes, or until they start to soften and caramelize.
3. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
4. Add the sliced beef to the skillet, season with salt, black pepper, and optional onion and garlic powder, and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the steak is browned and cooked through.
5. Remove from heat and set aside.
#### 3. **Stuff the Peppers**
Now comes the fun part—stuffing those peppers with all that delicious filling!
1. Evenly distribute the cooked steak and onions into the prepared bell peppers. Make sure each pepper is filled generously with the meat mixture.
2. Top each stuffed pepper with shredded provolone cheese (or your preferred cheese). You can add a little extra cheese if you love it extra cheesy!
#### 4. **Bake the Stuffed Peppers**
Now that your peppers are filled and topped with cheese, it’s time to bake them!
1. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
2. If you like your cheese a little more golden, you can broil the peppers for an additional 1-2 minutes at the end, but watch closely to avoid burning the cheese.
#### 5. **Serve & Enjoy**
Once the peppers are baked to perfection, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
For an extra creamy and tangy twist, drizzle each stuffed pepper with a little mayo and hot sauce (optional). This topping complements the savory meat and cheese perfectly and adds a bit of heat if you like it spicy.

### Tips for the Perfect Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers
1. **Use the Right Cut of Beef:** For the most tender meat, choose a cut that cooks quickly and is easy to slice thinly, like ribeye, flank steak, or sirloin.
2. **Customize the Filling:** Feel free to add mushrooms, bell peppers, or even spinach to the meat mixture for extra flavor and nutrition.
3. **Don’t Overcook the Peppers:** To ensure your peppers stay tender but not mushy, don’t overbake them. Check for doneness after 20 minutes, and remove them when they’re just tender.
4. **Top with More Cheese:** You can never have too much cheese! Feel free to add extra cheese on top before baking or even mix different cheeses together for a unique flavor.
5. **Meal Prep-Friendly:** These stuffed peppers are great for meal prep. Simply store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days, and reheat in the microwave or oven when ready to serve.
