Tips and variation ideas

From cooking in bulk to stuffing peppers, these tips will help you top this Philly cheesesteak skillet.

• Use frozen fajitas. If your local grocery store sells frozen beef fajitas, go ahead and use them to reduce prep time. But make sure they are completely thawed.
• Exchange proteins. Turkey and chicken make great substitutes for beef in this recipe.
• Use leftovers. Chop up leftover melted cheese in the refrigerator to create a unique cheese blend and replace the mozzarella cheese.
• Add more vegetables. Sauteed spinach, zucchini, and sweet potatoes make this dish extra hearty.
• Cook in batches. To sear your steak beautifully, you need to avoid overcrowding the pan. If you don't have a large enough pot to cook in, you can do this in batches.
• Stuff some peppers. Cut the tops off the whole green pepper. Remove the seeds. Stuff peppers with cheesesteak mixture. Chop more cheese on top. Bake peppers at 350 degrees F for 20-25 minutes or until tender.
• Make it spicy. Chop the jalapenos or serrano peppers and stir them into the mixture to heat through. You can also use red pepper flakes.
