Cheese Steak Stuffed Bell Peppers

I was scrolling through fb today and say a recipe for the stuffed peppers, and thought I would give it a try for dinner tonight. Of course I made a few changes.

First of all was the prep, I sliced about 1 cup of mushrooms (1 container was $1.88), 6 mini orange and yellow sweet peppers sliced thin (I get a bag of them for $2.99 at Grocery Outlet), it didn't call for the sweet peppers, 1 medium red onion (30 cents), I cut 4 bell peppers in half, and seeded them ($2.00 for the 4), and I sliced a package of thin steak (purchased at Grocery Outlet for $2.50), the recipe called for 1 lb of thinly sliced roast beef. A good tip for slicing steak thin is to place it in the freezer to stiffen it up and it makes it easier to slice. I also minced 3 cloves of garlic.

To cook, I placed 1 tbs of olive oil and 1 tbs butter in a skillet, place the onions, sweet peppers, and mushrooms in the skillet, sprinkle with salt and pepper, I also added some Greek seasoning, cook until they are tender. When they are almost done add the garlic. Remove to a bowl. Next add 1 tbs of olive oil to the hot pan, cook the steak, do it in batches if the skillet is crowded. After the steak is cooked add the veggies back in, heat through. In the bottom of the bell peppers place a slice of pepper jack cheese (it was $2.99), then a good helping of the steak onion mixture, top with more cheese, I did a mixture of colby jack cheese. Place in a 400 degree oven until the bell peppers are tender, and the cheese is bubbly and brown.
