Juicy ground beef, tender mushroom caps, sweet onions, crisp green bell pepper, and melty provolone make every bite hearty and savory, while Pennsylvania Philly Cheesesteak Infused Olive Oil Blend layers caramelized onion, green bell pepper, garlic, and herb notes into the filling so it tastes like a Philly-style favorite in appetizer form. It works beautifully for game day, a casual dinner party, or any night when you want something fun, flavorful, and crowd-ready.

Cheesesteak-Stuffed Mushrooms with Philly Cheesesteak Olive Oil Blend
Ingredients
- 16 large cremini mushrooms stems removed
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 tablespoons Pennsylvania Philly Cheesesteak Infused Olive Oil Blend
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion finely diced
- 1 small green bell pepper finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 cup shredded provolone cheese divided
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons chopped pickled cherry peppers optional
Method
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Gently wipe the mushroom caps clean, remove the stems, and arrange the caps hollow-side up on the prepared sheet.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then add the onion and bell pepper and cook until softened and lightly golden, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Add the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika, then cook until the beef is browned and cooked through, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
- Drain excess grease if needed, then stir in the Pennsylvania Philly Cheesesteak Infused Olive Oil Blend, cream cheese, 3/4 cup of the provolone, Parmesan, breadcrumbs, parsley, and optional pickled cherry peppers until the filling is creamy and well combined.
- Spoon the filling into the mushroom caps, mounding it slightly.
- Top each mushroom with the remaining provolone.
- Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, until the mushrooms are tender and the cheese is melted and browned in spots.
- Let the stuffed mushrooms cool for 5 minutes before serving warm.
Notes

Let us know how it was!Recipe Tips
Use large cremini or white mushroom caps so the filling stays tucked in and the tops brown nicely. If the mushrooms release extra liquid while baking, spoon it off before adding the cheese so the filling stays hearty instead of watery.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these stuffed mushrooms hot from the oven with a simple green salad, roasted potatoes, or a small bowl of marinara for dipping. They also make a great starter alongside sliders, wings, or a casual spread of game day snacks.
Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat on a baking sheet in a 350°F oven until warmed through so the mushrooms and cheese stay pleasantly textured.
Variations
Swap in shaved steak for the ground beef if you want a more classic cheesesteak feel. You can also use Monterey Jack or mozzarella instead of provolone, or add a spoonful of sautéed jalapeño for extra kick.
