Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers

 

I adore stuffed peppers. But we have had them so many times that we have gotten a bit tired of them. Everyone in my family also loves Philly cheesesteaks so when I seen pictures of the stuffed peppers with the Philly cheesesteak I decided to create my own recipe with everything we love and see how they would go over with the family. Well..They were a huge hit and I will be making them again in the very near future! Here is what I did…..

 

 

Servings-8

4 green peppers

8 slices of provolone cheese

4 oz. package of fresh mushrooms or canned

8 oz. of Philly style shaved meat frozen or 8 oz. fresh thin sliced roast beef

1 tbsp. of minced garlic

1 large sweet onion sliced as thin as you can get it

2 tbsp. butter

2 tbsp. oil

Toppings: add to taste –  salt & pepper, sub oil, and crispy fried onions

 

Pre-heat oven to *400 degrees

Wash  the peppers.

Slice the peppers in half . Remove the ribs and de seed them.

While I was sauteing the onions and mushrooms I placed the green peppers on a baking sheet and pre-heated them for about 10 minutes so they would not have a really strong flavor.

Caramelize your onions and minced garlic, mushrooms in butter. About 15 minutes on med-high heat.

Remove onions and set aside.

Place oil into hot pan carefully and heat the meat thoroughly.

Add the onions and mushrooms back into the meat and heat the mixture thoroughly.

Remove the peppers from the oven and place a slice of provolone inside of each pepper.

 

Then add the  meat,onion, and mushroom mixture into each pepper, Then this is when I sprinkled them with sub oil, salt, and pepper.

Top with another slice of provolone and then top with crispy fried onions.

Bake in the oven for 15 minutes at 400 degrees. Enjoy!

Anyone have any other suggestions on toppings?

 

 

 

 

Hot Ham & Cheese Rolls

Finally the weekend is here! I am so ready to sit back and relax and watch a movie with the family. I didn’t want to waste a lot of time in the kitchen so…. here is what I did .

Hot Ham & Cheese Rolls

1 package of Hawaiian Sweet Rolls
1 package of sliced deli cheese
1 package of deli ham
1/3 cup of melted butter
1 package of cream cheese (softened in microwave about 60 seconds)
1 pack of onion dip & soup mix
2 tbsp. of melted butter

Preheat oven to 350
Brush the bottom of a 9×13 glass casserole dish with half of the melted butter.
Take the whole package and instead of pulling them apart, use a very long bread knife and slice the whole package horizontally.
Next, soften your cream cheese in the microwave for about 60 seconds and then mix in the onion dip mix.
Place the layer of buns in the dish and spread on half of the cream cheese mix.
Then layer it with your choice of deli ham- I used honey ham.
Top the ham with a layer of your favorite deli sliced cheese- of course I used our favorite 🙂 Colby & Monterey Jack.

Then spread the rest of the cream cheese onto the top layer of the rolls.
Very carefully place the top onto the rolls and then brush the top of the rolls with the rest of your melted butter.

Now bake at 350 for 15 minutes.

Those babies were devoured within minutes 🙂

 

Spinach Stuffing Balls

2 small onions (diced really fine)

24 oz. bag of frozen spinach (thawed, washed, and drained)

1/2 cup melted butter

1 bag of herb stuffing

1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese

1/2 cup of Colby and Monterey Jack (finely shredded)

And finally 6 beaten eggs.

 

Lightly grease your baking sheet.

 

I mixed it all together and rolled out around 60 spinach balls.

 

I love cheese so before I put them in the oven I had to sprinkle a bit more cheese on top of them. But they will be healthier without the added cheese.

 

Bake at 350 for 20 minutes.

Everyone loved them!! We used ranch dressing to dip them in but next time I think I will make an actual dipping sauce for them.
