    a quick dinner recipe: a half fusion garlic cajun philly cheesesteak stuffed pepper put on a grey plate

    What should I make for dinner in 30 minutes?

    Well, the answer is easy. These stuffed peppers are your ideal answer for a quick dinner recipe.

    The recipe is not a typical Philly cheesesteak, instead, it is a fusion take with an add-on garlic Cajun flavor.

    If you haven't known, garlic Cajun happens to be my most favorite cooking flavor. In fact, the most popular post of all time on my blog is this Asian fusion garlic Cajun boiling seafood recipe.

    Did I mention 'most popular post of all time'? Yeah, that's how good it is you know.

    Cooking schedule for this 30 minutes ready recipe

    In order to ease your fast cooking journey as much as possible, here is a guideline for these amazing Cajun cheesesteak stuffed peppers:

    • 6:30 pm - Wash and cut 3 bell peppers in half
    • 6:35 pm - Bake halved peppers. Cut white onion, mushrooms, and beef into thin slices
    • 6:45 pm - Sauté beef & veggies. Add seasoning.
    • 6:50 pm - Take baked peppers out of oven. Add cheese & beef mixture. Bake again.
    • 7:00 pm - Serve stuffed peppers hot.
    • half of stuffed pepper. quick easy dinner recipe, put on a grey dinner plate

    Ingredients and substitutions

    • Bell peppers - opt for small size ones if you want an appetizers or a small bite instead.
    • Beef tenderloin - or if you want other fancy cut like strip loin or rib eye, go for it. Just look out for the extra fat on those strip loins, they might get tough due to short cooking time.
    • White onion & white button mushroom - you can opt for any kind of mushroom you like: shitake, king oyster, etc.
    • Slices of provolone - provolone has always been used in any Philly cheesesteak recipe. But in my opinion, you can use any kind of cheese you want here. Why? Because it's your meal, your rule, eh?
      • Opt for soft or semi soft cheese like mozzarella, cheddar, edam, emmental.
      • If slices are not available to you, shredded ones are good too. Just be creative and work with what you have.
    • Cajun seasoning - since this Cajun cheesesteak stuffed peppers is a quick dinner recipe, I go straight for a store-bought Cajun seasoning instead of making 1 myself.
    • Garlic powder - this awesome granulated garlic powder has always been in my pantry.
      • If you have extra 5 or 10 minutes, then go for freshly minced garlic instead. It helps to enhance the fragrance of Cajun seasoning.
    • Unsalted butter - always use unsalted one for cooking and baking. Unless you are 100% sure about the amount of salt in a salted butter, than use it as you like. But for me, it's easier to adjust seasoning when I cook with unsalted one.

    • Add the steak mixture to the peppers, then top them up with the rest of provolone slices.

    1. Cajun crawfish

      April 08, 2021 at 2:48 am

      I think stuffed peppers are underrated. These cajun-spiced ones look really tasty. I might swap out some of the veggies since I don't like mushrooms so much, but the base recipe is great. These might pair well with cajun-style crawfish, too, because of the similar seasonings.
