Low Carb Spicy Steak & Cheese #15MinuteSuppers

One of the things I miss the most when I am counting calories and watching what I eat (which happens a few times a year , when I decide I have spoiled myself enough)  is Steak & Cheese !   The peppery steak, warm gooey cheese, sauteed onions & peppers... drool.  Of course the steamed, bread.  But if you are counting calories or watching carbs, the bread is a big no no.  So I created a Low Carb Steak & Cheese using lettuce. When I first heard of lettuce wraps, I said . Um. No.  Lettuce is not bread and there is no replacement for bread.  While this is true, the lettuce provides a cool, crisp crunch that bread can not!  It is a refreshing change from the ordinary, try it and LETTUCE know what you think.
