The evil onion had many lairs

For my most recent cooking adventure I decided to try something which, of course, was inspired byPinterest.  I often get wary looking at Pinterest because the pictures always look SO perfect and sometimes it's easier said than done. This recipe looked so easy that even I could do it!

If you are a fan of Philly Cheese Steaks and are looking for a "healthier" twist...Look NO further! I often find it funny when some of these recipes are featured on "healthy" cooking blogs and clean eating websites because anyway you look at Roast Beef it is not the best source of nutrients. Don't let that deter you though! I mean let's be honest who doesn't love Roast beef sauteed in garlic topped with cheese and stuffed in a  peppers!?!

First Step: Gather ingredients
1. Pound of Roast Beef- I got mine from the Deli use but you can use any kind.
2. Peppers- Red or Green peppers however many you are going to feed.
3. Garlic or Onions

Step Two: Saute Beef in a skillet with Garlic and Onions chopped up. The beef only takes about 15 minutes to cook if you are sauteing it over medium heat. Stir every few minutes so that the garlic and onions soak into the meat.

Tip: Did you know there is a specific way to chop onions? Well, apparently there is and  I learned that you have to first cut the onion in half and then place it on its side so that when you make the cuts it cuts them into perfect diced onions... It's hard to explain in words but  it really works! I of course did it the WRONG way first and ended up having to do it all over again.

I love the taste of Garlic so I added plenty!  You can also add anything else to the mix!

Step Three: Cut your Peppers and place cheese at the bottom.  Cut the top of you peppers off and place them in a cake pan. The cake pan is important because it helps keeps the peppers standing upright. 

You can add any cheese you would like. I used Provolone in some and mixed Colby jack in the others.

Step Four:  Once the Roast Beef is cooked you are ready to place them into the peppers. Fill them to the top and place cheese over the top as well.   

Step Five: Preheat the Oven to 425 and cook the peppers for about 20 minutes or more depending on how soft you want your peppers. I found that when they are a little firmer it is easier to cut and eat. However, when the peppers were soft it was really delicious too.

Yum-0!!!!

I love this recipe because it shows another great use for peppers! What ways have you used peppers in your kitchen? I am looking for more ways to stuff peppers!
