Philly cheesesteak sandwiches are a favourite of mine and I like to use their flavours in other dishes like these cheesesteak stuffed peppers! Cheesesteaks are sandwiches filled with thinly sliced beef that is grilled along with onions and stuffed into a bun with either cheese whiz or provolone! One common addition to these sandwiches is sauteed peppers and an idea that I had was to switch things up by stuffing peppers with the rest of the ingredients! I like to use ground beef rather than the thinly slice steak for these stuffed peppers, and it’s cooked with onions in addition to some tasty seasonings like garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and Montreal steak seasoning before being stuffed into peppers and baked! When the peppers are tender the cheese is added and they are returned to the oven until the cheese melts all nice and ooey and gooey! Yum! This recipe is super easy to make and oh so good!

ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1/2 cup beef broth

- 1 cup beef broth

directions
- Cook the beef and onions in a skillet over medium-high heat breaking the beef up as you cook it, optionally draining any excess grease.

These came out amazing! My husband is a philly cheesesteak purist and even he was thrilled to pieces!
This is my kind of comfort food. However, I must question adding onions and or garlic to the ground beef when browning if the excess fat is drained off. In that fat being drained is also some of the flavor of the onions and or garlic. I always brown and drain my ground beef before adding flavorings.
Cooking the onions with the beef saves some cooking time, though it does drain off a little of the flavour along with the grease. I often prefer the time savings compared to the small drop in flavour. Another flavour consideration is the fat content of the beef; the more fat in the beef the more flavour, and the more grease to drain off. Medium ground beef will have more flavour, and more grease to drain off. Using lean or extra lean ground beef will result in very little grease to drain off, and a little less flavour.
