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 peppers: Bell peppers are the most common choice for stuffed peppers, but you can also use poblano peppers, Anaheim peppers, or even jalapeño peppers if you like spicy food.
- Cook the rice ahead of time: This will save you time and help the rice absorb more flavor from the other ingredients.
- Use a variety of vegetables: The more vegetables you use, the more nutritious and flavorful your stuffed peppers will be. Some good options include onions, celery, carrots, mushrooms, and zucchini.
- Season the filling well: Don't be afraid to use plenty of herbs and spices to flavor the filling. Some good options include garlic, paprika, cumin, and chili powder.
- Don't overcook the peppers: The peppers should be tender but still slightly firm. If you overcook them, they will become mushy.
