Ingredients

2 green bell peppers (halved, $1.72)

¼ tsp salt (divided, $0.01)

¼ tsp freshly cracked black pepper (divided, $0.02)

1 yellow onion (sliced thin, (mine was just under 1lb) $0.78)

4 Tbsp butter (divided, $0.53)

¼ cup vegetable oil (divided, $0.20)

8 oz white mushrooms (sliced thin, $1.98)

1 tsp garlic powder ($0.06)

1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce ($0.15)

14 oz shaved beef steak ($7.49)

4 slices Provolone cheese (*, $0.72)

Instructions

1 Gather ingredients. Preheat oven to 350℉.

2 Half the bell peppers, remove the seeds, and brush lightly with vegetable oil and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Bake for 25 minutes, cut side up, to help them soften before filling.**

3 Julienne (thinly slice) the yellow onion. Melt 2 Tbsp butter and 2 Tbsp vegetable oil in large skillet and cook onions until very soft and beginning to caramelize over medium-high heat, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with a bit of salt.

4 Slice the mushrooms and add to pan with garlic powder, remaining salt and pepper, and Worcestershire sauce, stirring to combine and continuing to cook until very soft, about 8 minutes, scraping up any bits from the bottom of the pan as you go. Depending on your stovetop, this may take more or less time, so I would judge the cook time visually. Turn your heat down if the veggies are starting to burn.

5 Reduce heat to medium and add remaining butter and oil to pan.

6 Once melted, add the shaved beef steak.

7 Using your spatula, separate the beef steak as it cooks to make sure it is evenly browned.

8 Add the par-cooked bell peppers to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Stuff each halved par-cooked bell pepper with the meat and veggie filling. They should be very full!

9 Top with sliced provolone cheese and put the peppers back in the oven for another 20 minutes. Serve, and enjoy.
