I am a big fan of Philly Cheesesteaks. I cannot deny that! But I am also a big fan of finding healthy alternatives to the not-so-healthy food that I enjoy!! So here you go, your healthy version of a Philly Cheesesteak! If you do not eat red meat, simply replace the red meat with ground turkey or chicken.

Ingredients: (Serves 4)

  • 4 Green Peppers (sliced in halves and removing the insides)
  • 1 Sweet Onion (sliced and then cut in half)
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 lb lean ground beef (I use 96% lean)
  • 12-ounce organic tomato sauce
  • 1/2 cup Shredded Mozzarella cheese or Provolone (your preference)
  • 1 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 325º
  2. Saute’ onions and garlic on high, in olive oil until they’re translucent
  3. Add beef to cooked onions and cook until it’s no longer pink.
  4. Stir in 8 of the 12 ounces of tomato sauce and cook on low for 3 more minutes, stirring frequently. With the 4 oz of the remaining sauce,  pour it on the bottom of a 9X13 baking dish. 
  5. Add peppers to the baking dish.
  6. Fill the inside of the peppers with meat mixture.
  7. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of peppers and mixture..
  8. Cook for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted. If you want a softer pepper, add some water to the bottom of the pan and cover with tin foil.

ENJOY!
