CHEESESTEAK-STUFFED PEPPERS
This is a hearty, low-carb dish that can stand alone at meal time. It's loaded with protein and veggies, yet it's creamy and satisfying so you won't even miss the carbs! Feel free to substitute thinly sliced chicken breast for a leaner protein option and try other cheeses like smoked gouda or extra-sharp cheddar. -Erica Malerich, Pacific, Missouri

Tips:
- Choose the right cheese: For a creamy and flavorful sauce, use a combination of hard and soft cheeses. Hard cheeses like Parmesan and cheddar add a sharp flavor, while soft cheeses like cream cheese and brie add a rich and creamy texture.
- Use fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables will add a bright and vibrant flavor to your sauce. Some good options include broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, celery, and zucchini.
- Cook the vegetables properly: Be careful not to overcook the vegetables, as this will make them mushy. Steam or sauté them until they are tender but still have a slight crunch.
- Add herbs and spices: Herbs and spices can add a lot of flavor to your sauce. Some good options include garlic, onion, thyme, rosemary, and paprika.
- Serve immediately: Creamy cheese sauce is best served immediately, as it will thicken as it cools. If you need to make it ahead of time, you can reheat it gently over low heat, stirring constantly.
