PHILLY CHEESE STEAK-STUFFED BELL PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place bell peppers cut-side up on a baking sheet.
• Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir steak until lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Remove from skillet.
• Add onion, mushrooms, olive oil, garlic, and steak seasoning to the skillet. Cook and stir until onions and mushrooms are nice and tender, about 5 minutes. Return the steak to the skillet and cook for 3 to 5 minutes more.
• Spoon steak mixture into the bell pepper halves until full. Top with provolone cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cheese on top is golden brown, about 15 minutes. Let cool.

GARLICKY PHILLY CHEESESTEAK STUFFED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat broiler to high and place the rack approximately 6" below the broiler.
• Place prepared peppers, cut side down on a microwave safe plate and microwave on high for 2 minutes. Flip pepper halves over, season with a pinch of Dash of Desperation and cook for an additional 1 minute. Peppers should be tender, but still hold their shape. Flip the peppers over on the plate (to allow the steam to finish cooking them) and set aside. **NOTE** When you go to stuff the peppers in the next step, if they are not soft enough for you, you can cook for an additional 45 seconds to 1 min in the microwave.
• Spray large nonstick skillet with nonstick spray and heat over high heat.
• Add the thinly sliced mushrooms to the pan and sauté for 4 minutes until slightly browned. Place mushrooms in a bowl and set aside to keep warm.
• Place the pan back on the stove over high heat. When super hot, add the beef in a single layer, sprinkle with the Garlic and Spring Onion Seasoning and sauté for 1 minute, until steak is brown (or longer if you like your steak more done).
• Add the mushrooms back to the pan and stir to incorporate.
• Divide the beef and mushroom mixture up equally and stuff into the pepper halves.
• Sprinkle each pepper with an equal portion of cheese.
• Place under the broiler for approximately 1 minute until cheese melts and is bubbly.
• Serve immediately.
