This Keto Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Bell Peppers recipe is an easy low carb dinner idea. It’s perfect if you want the flavors of cheesesteak without the carbs that come along with the bread. In this post, I share how to make the Philly Cheesesteak filling and give options for optional side dishes to enjoy this with. I love these because they’re perfect for keto meal prep and one of several low carb recipes that kids will enjoy!

What are Keto Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Bell Peppers?

As a Philly native, it’s easy for me to get a good cheesesteak. Like I shared in the fathead dough pockets version of this recipe, I enjoy my cheesesteak with loads of meat, fried onions, sweet & hot peppers, ketchup, mayo, and seasonings.

This recipe for Keto Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers is a bit of a Philly Cheesesteak deconstructed.

Instead of using peppers as a part of the meat filling, I’m using sweet bell peppers as the replacement for bread.

The Siracha Mayo is the perfect topping because it includes ketchup, mayo and a little bit of lime for boosted flavor. If you enjoy your cheesesteaks like I do (with sauce), then this sauce is a must!

Ingredients in Keto Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers

This dish requires just a few ingredients, most of which are likely in your pantry. The ingredients include:

  • Shaved Sirloin Steak or Ground Beef
  • American Cheese
  • Onions
  • Bell Peppers
  • Spices: Onion Salt, Dried Parsley, Salt & Pepper

To make this dish a little spicy, you might also add one jalapeno pepper.

The Right Kind of Cheese:

Making any Philly Cheesesteak well requires a good, melty cheese. Some cheeses that melt well are American Cheese, Colby Jack, and any Cheddar Cheese. If you don’t have sliced cheese, then I use about a cup of shredded cheese. I don’t recommend using hard cheeses like Parmesan because they take forever to melt and won’t result in a filling that is deliciously gooey.

How to make Philly Cheesesteak Keto Stuffed Peppers:

  1. Roast your bell peppers in the oven
  2. Make the cheesesteak filling
  3. Add the cheesesteak filling to the roasted peppers
  4. Top with your favorite sauces and enjoy!

What To Serve With this:

I think that this dish is the perfect meal on their own. Specifically, the meat and cheese filling provides a great source of protein and fat. And, the peppers are a great way to eat your carbs in vegetables.

If you would like to add a side to this dish, then I recommend that you check out my post on keto and low carb side dish recipes. You might also pair this with these golden jicama fries.

Make Philly Cheesesteaks with Fathead Dough Instead

When I first shared a recipe for Philly Cheesesteaks, it included fathead dough. The cheesesteak pockets are a great keto-friendly appetizer. They remind me of a more elevated hot pocket.

Since making fathead dough is a bit more complicated, I tend to make these stuffed peppers during busy evenings. But, if you have time, it’s a nice variation on this dish.

Ingredients

  • 3 Bell Peppers, seeds removed and cut in half

Philly Cheesesteak Philly

  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil, or another cooking fat
  • 1/2 Yellow Onion, sliced thinly
  • 1 jalapeno, you could also use 1/3 cup slice bell peppers
  • 1 lb Shaved Steak, or ground beef
  • 1.5 tbsp Onion Salt, Each brand of Onion Salt will vary in their level of saltiness. The one linked in the recipe has more of an onion flavor (along with parsley and garlic powder) with some sprinkles of salt. If you don't have this one, you can substitute 1/2 tablespoon of Onion Powder, 1/2 tablespoon of Garlic Powder.
  • 1/2 tsp Natural Ancient Sea Salt, or more to taste at the end
  • 1 tsp Dried Parsley
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
  • 6 slices White American Cheese, I like to get this sliced fresh from the deli because the packaged kind does not taste the same to me

Sriracha Mayo Sauce

  • 1/2 tbsp Lime Juice
  • 2 tbsp No Sugar Added Ketchup
  • 1 tbsp Sriracha Sauce
  • 1 tbsp Mayonnaise

Instructions

To Roast the Bell Peppers

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees
  • Drizzle olive oil on the bell pepper halves and season with salt and pepper (I used about 1/8 tsp of salt and black pepper per half).
  • Roast the bell peppers for 10 minutes per side. 

To Make the Philly Cheesesteak Filling

  • While the peppers roast: Heat a large skillet to medium-high heat
  • Add the butter, onions, and peppers to the pan. Saute the vegetables until they are translucent (~3 minutes)
  • Add the shaved beef to the pan along with the spices. Cook the meat until browned.
  • Top the mixture with the American Cheese. Use tongs to incorporate the cheese and help it melt.
  • Once the cheese is melted, divide the Philly Cheesesteak filling between the pepper halves
  • Optional: Whisk the ingredients for the sauce with a fork. Top the stuffed peppers with the sauce before eating.

Recipe Notes

You could top this dish with Lee Kum Kee Sriracha Mayo as a shortcut.
