How to Make Keto Stuffed Bell Peppers

Pre-cook the bell peppers. Place your bell pepper halves on a baking sheet or pan. Brush it with some olive oil.
Bake. Bake for 15 minutes and remove from the oven.
Cook the steak. To make the filling, cook the steak until it’s no longer pink. Set aside.
Cook the rest of the filling. Saute your onion and add the mushrooms. Add the steak back in.
Season. Season with salt and pepper.
Stuff the bell peppers. Spoon your steak mixture into the bell peppers.
Top with cheese.
Bake. Bake for about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven.
Serve! Sprinkle some chopped parsley on top.

Can You Freeze Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Bell Peppers?

Since bell peppers have such a high water content, freezing them may have an effect on the overall texture. Not to worry because here are some tips that will help you avoid the mushy texture and spoilage:

Drain any oils or juices. During cooking the meat and cheese may cause juices and oils to leak out of the bell pepper. Make sure to discard these before freezing the stuffed peppers.
Cool the peppers down completely. Before you freeze your bell peppers, make sure they’re cooled down completely, even on the inside.
Freeze as soon as you can after cooking. Don’t bake it on day 1, store it in the refrigerator on day 2-4, and then freeze on day 5. It’s best to freeze it soon after it’s cooked to ensure freshness.

Can You Make Stuffed Bell Peppers Ahead?

You can certainly make stuffed bell peppers ahead if you’re going to serve them within the next day or two. These would keep well in the refrigerator as long as they’re stored in an air-tight container to avoid drying out.

For longer than a couple of days, I recommend freezing the stuffed bell peppers as soon as they’re cooled down from baking. Another alternative is to prepare the meat mixture ahead and then just stuff your bell peppers once you’re ready to bake them.
