Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Vegetables

  • 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 small onion, chopped

Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Dairy

  • 4 ounces cream cheese
  • 6 slices provolone cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease an 8×8-inch casserole dish to prevent sticking during baking.
  2. Cook Vegetables and Ground Beef: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef, chopped bell pepper, and chopped onion. Brown the meat, breaking it up with a spoon and stirring the peppers and onions until the beef is fully cooked and vegetables are slightly softened.
  3. Drain and Return Mixture: Once browned, drain excess fat from the meat mixture and return it to the skillet on medium heat to prepare for seasoning.
  4. Season and Add Cream Cheese: Season the meat mixture evenly with salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Stir in Worcestershire sauce and cream cheese, continuing to cook and mix until the cream cheese has completely melted and incorporated, creating a creamy texture.
  5. Assemble the Casserole: Transfer the beef and vegetable mixture into the greased casserole dish, spreading it out evenly to form a uniform layer. Arrange the 6 slices of provolone cheese evenly on top of the mixture to cover the entire surface.
  6. Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the provolone cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Serve: Remove from oven and let it cool briefly before serving to enjoy a delicious Philly Cheesesteak inspired casserole.

Notes

  • Drain the fat from the cooked ground beef to reduce greasiness and improve texture.
  • Customize the dish by adding mushrooms or using different types of cheese like mozzarella or cheddar.
  • Use low-fat cream cheese or reduced-fat cheese slices to make a lighter version.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through before serving.
