Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Shells

another recipe that will last you 2-3 days. don’t worry about timing — everything just ends up finishing at the right time.

the cheese sauce tastes pretty similar to chipotle’s queso. i’m pretty tempted to make just the cheese sauce and dip some chips in it.

• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 small yellow onion (diced)
• 1 small green bell pepper (diced)
