- 1 onion, finely chopped
Cooking Ingredients:

Instructions
- Ignite the oven to a precise 400°F (200°C), ensuring an ideal cooking environment for these savory stuffed peppers.
- Warm a tablespoon of olive oil in a deep skillet over medium heat, allowing the pan to reach an even temperature.
- Sauté sliced mushrooms until they develop a rich, golden-brown color, releasing their earthy aromatics into the pan.
- Incorporate finely chopped onions into the mushrooms, continuing to cook until they become translucent and caramelized.
- Transfer the vegetable medley to a separate plate, reserving the flavorful skillet for the next step.
- Introduce thinly sliced beef strips to the hot skillet, cooking until each piece achieves a perfect seared exterior and rich brown color.
- Reunite the mushroom and onion mixture with the beef, seasoning generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to enhance the overall flavor profile.
- Prepare the green bell peppers by carefully slicing off their tops and meticulously removing all seeds and membranes.
- Layer the bottom of each pepper with a slice of Provolone cheese, creating a creamy foundation.
- Generously fill each pepper with the beef, mushroom, and onion mixture, ensuring an even distribution.
- Crown each stuffed pepper with an additional slice of Provolone cheese, creating a melty, golden topping.
- Position the peppers in a baking dish, allowing them to bake for 25 minutes until the peppers soften and the cheese transforms into a bubbling, golden crust.
Notes
- Elevate your meal prep by choosing fresh, high-quality bell peppers with firm, smooth skin for the best texture and flavor.
- Customize the recipe by swapping beef with chicken or plant-based protein to suit different dietary preferences.
- Achieve perfect browning by ensuring the skillet is hot and not overcrowding the meat during cooking.
- Prevent soggy peppers by patting the beef and vegetables dry before assembling to maintain a crisp pepper shell.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, reheating gently to preserve the peppers’ structure and cheese’s creamy texture.
- Enhance nutrition by adding extra vegetables like spinach or zucchini to the beef mixture for a more balanced meal.
