Sorry friends. IT’S BACK.

How to make Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers
Caramelize
In a large pan, heat up some oil and add in the sliced onions when it is shiny. Add some salt and cook, stirring every once in a while, until the onions are brown and caramelized.
Boil
While the onions cook, bring a large pot of water to a boil and add in the bell peppers. Let them cook for a few minutes or until they begin to soften. Drain and place on some clean, dry paper towel, patting off the peppers as needed. Arrange the peppers in a pan and turn on the oven.
Cook
Heat the remaining oil in a large pan over the stove and add in the sliced beef. Cook until it’s browned and cooked. Transfer it to a plate.
Make the Rice
Process your cauliflower in a large food processor until it becomes fine rice-like crumbs. Add it into the pan that your beef was cooking in and saute until golden brown. At this point, add the beef and onions back into the pan as well as some salt and mix everything together well.
Bake
Fill the peppers with the filling evenly and top each pepper with a slice of cheese. Pop the pan in the oven and bake until the cheese has melted and the peppers are tender. Next, set your oven to broil and cook an additional couple of minutes to brown things up a bit!
Serve
Serve up your finished peppers and DEVOUR!
Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers FAQ
For this stuffed peppers recipe, I used Green Bell Peppers and sliced off the top, removing the seeds and membranes inside. You could also use red, yellow or orange bell peppers if you want!
I do recommend boiling the peppers just for a couple of minutes to start the softening process. They will soften more in the oven when you bake them, but boiling gives them a head start!
For this recipe, I used top sirloin beef steak and sliced it very thinly against the grain. I also removed any large chunks of fat before slicing it up. This type of steak is very tender and cooks well- it won’t get too tough when baked in the oven.
Serving Suggestions
These philly cheesesteak stuffed peppers keto are kind of a full meal deal, but if you want to serve some side dishes with it, or serve it as part of a 3 course keto feast, there’s nothing stopping you! I recommend starting things off with a hot bowl of keto tomato soup, then enjoying these stuffed peppers, and finishing things off with a decadent slice of keto chocolate cake. Your guests are going to be impressed and their bellies will be full and satisfied.
How to store Stuffed Peppers
These stuffed peppers are fantastic for meal prep because they keep well in the fridge! I recommend storing them in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge. Pop them in the oven and let them heat up slowly when you’re ready to enjoy them again.

Low Carb Keto Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers with cauliflower
Ingredients
For the onions:
- 1 Tbsp Olive oil
- 2 Large onions sliced about 1/2 thick
- Salt
For the peppers:
- 6 Small Green bell peppers, halved and seeds/membranes removed
- 1 Tbsp Olive oil
- 1 Lb Beef top sirloin steak, sliced very thinly against the grain* (and large chunks of fat removed)
- 2 cups Cauliflower, cut into small florets
- Salt
- 12 Oz Provolone cheese, sliced
Instructions
-
In a large pan, heat the 1 Tbsp of olive oil on medium heat until shiny. Add in the sliced onions. and a pinch of salt and stir until they are coated in the oil. Cook, stirring every so often, until the onions are caramelized and golden brown, 30-45 minutes. If you have a very hot stove, you may need to turn the heat to medium low, as you don’t want them to burn. Don’t stir too often, as you want the bottom to caramelize properly.
-
While the onions cook, place the prepared peppers in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and boil for 2-3 minutes, until they just begin to soften. Drain and place on a layer of paper towel, gently patting any of the water off. Arrange the peppers in a 9×13 inch pan and turn your oven to 350 degrees.
-
Heat the remaining 1 Tbsp of oil in a large pan on medium heat. Cook the sliced steak until golden brown, draining out the excess fat. Transfer to a plate.
-
While the beef cooks, place the cauliflower into a large food processor and process until “rice like.” Place it right into the pan that the beef was in and cook on medium heat, stirring occasionally, until golden brown.
-
Once cooked, add the beef and caramelized onions into the pan and sprinkle with sea salt. Stir until well mixed.
-
Stuff the peppers with the mixture and top each pepper with a slice of cheese (1 oz cheese per pepper half). Bake until the cheese is melted and the peppers are tender, about 10-15 minutes. Turn the oven to high broil and cook an additional 2-4 minutes until the cheese is golden brown.
