Cheese Steak Stuffed Peppers with a Twist
A Philly favorite with a twist!
Cheese Steak Stuffed Peppers have all of the flavor, and half the carbs.
Did you know, stuffed green bell peppers, traditionally a Spanish cuisine are green bell peppers made by a possibility of a variety of ingredients ranging from beef, cheese to ground turkey or chicken, or possibly more vegetables. The ingredients act as the fillings(what the bell pepper is actually filled or stuffed with). Green bell peppers are a significant source of antioxidants while also containing zeaxanthin, a substance responsible for healthy eyes and can reduce age-related eye disorders risk. I find the orange, red and yellow peppers tend to be more sweeter than green. Personally, I cook with either the yellow, orange, or red peppers more so than green. The flavors blend so well with the ingredients added in the center. Cheese Steak Stuffed Peppers will make any mouth water~
