Ingredients
| Ingredient | Measurement |
|---|---|
| Large bell peppers, cut in half lengthwise | 2 |
| Thinly sliced roast beef or pastrami beef | 8 oz. |
| Baby mushrooms, sliced | 6 oz. |
| Slices of provolone or cheddar cheese | 8 slices |
| Salted butter | 2 tbsp |
Directions
-
Prepare the Peppers: Start by cutting the bell peppers lengthwise into halves, removing the seeds and membranes to create clean “boats.”
-
Sauté the Mushrooms: In a medium pan, melt the salted butter over medium heat. Add the sliced baby mushrooms and sauté them for about 3-4 minutes until tender and lightly browned. Remove the mushrooms from the heat and set aside.
-
Assemble the Stuffed Peppers: Lay each bell pepper half on a baking sheet. Place one slice of cheese at the bottom of each pepper, followed by two slices of roast beef or pastrami on top. Add a few sautéed mushrooms, and then finish off each pepper with another slice of cheese to cover the filling.
-
Bake: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the stuffed peppers in the oven and bake them for about 18-20 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the cheese is fully melted.
-
Cool and Serve: Once the peppers are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
