Cheesy Ground Beef and Pepper Skillet

This cheesy skillet is a lighter, one-pan take on a classic Philly cheesesteak. Lean ground beef is cooked with brightly colored bell peppers and seasoned minimally. Cheese is added at the end to bring melty, cheesy comfort vibes without it feeling heavy. Packed with protein and veggies, this is an easy weeknight dinner that is sure to satisfy!
