A comforting casserole that embodies all the rich flavors of a classic Philly cheesesteak, perfect for chilly nights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs Ground Beef (80/20 fat ratio)
  • 1 large Onion, diced
  • 2 large Bell Peppers, diced
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
  • Salt and Pepper, to taste
  • 8 oz Provolone Cheese, sliced
  • 1.5 cups Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions and minced garlic, cooking until the onions turn translucent and fragrant—about 3-4 minutes. Then, toss in the diced bell peppers and sauté until they’re tender, about another 5 minutes.
  2. Brown the Beef: Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper, and break it apart with a spatula. Cook until the beef is browned and no longer pink, which should take about 8-10 minutes.
  3. Mix in the Cream Cheese: Once the beef is cooked, reduce the heat to low. Mix in the softened cream cheese along with the Worcestershire sauce. Stir continuously until the cream cheese has melted and everything is well combined.
  4. Assemble the Casserole: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a greased casserole dish, transfer the beef and vegetable mixture, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
  5. Layer with Cheese: First, layer the slices of provolone cheese over the beef mixture. Next, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top, creating a generous, cheesy layer.
  6. Bake to Perfection: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and is bubbly. For an extra golden top, let it broil for the last 2-3 minutes—just keep a close eye to prevent burning!
  7. Cool Slightly: Once baked, remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes before serving. This allows the layers to set up a bit and makes it easier to serve.
  8. Enjoy! Scoop generous portions onto plates and dig in! The gooey cheese and hearty beef paired with vibrant veggies will surely warm your heart and soul!

Notes

This casserole can be prepared in advance and stored in the fridge before baking. Leftovers keep well for quick meals throughout the week.
