Sometimes, you just don't want bread. I love a cheese steak as much as the next person, but in all honestly, it's the stuff between the bread that is what I want. The bread is just an after thought. I honestly can't even tell you if I've ever noticed the difference in what types of bread different sub shops use. It's all just a long roll holding the good stuff to me.
I wanted to make cheese steaks for dinner but I didn't want the bread aspect. I thought for a bit and then realized I could easily turn this into a form of stuffed peppers. Tom is not a fan of them and it just so worked out we had extra sub rolls in the pantry from a previous meal. I made all of the filling and stuff mine into bell peppers and saved his for a toasty roll.

These were so tasty! I'd much rather have a cheese steak like this than on a roll any day! I had the leftovers for lunch for the rest of the week and this is just as good the first time as it is microwaved the next couple of days.
