Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef or sliced steak
- 1 green pepper, sliced
- 1 onion, sliced
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 1 cup provolone or mozzarella cheese
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for baking the casserole.
- Cook Vegetables and Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef or sliced steak along with the sliced green pepper, onion, and mushrooms until the meat is browned and the vegetables are tender, about 8-10 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Make Creamy Mixture: Reduce heat to low and stir in the cream cheese and Worcestershire sauce into the beef and vegetable mixture until everything is smooth and creamy.
- Assemble Casserole: Transfer the creamy beef mixture into a baking dish, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the provolone or mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.
- Serve: Carefully remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. This casserole can be served on its own or over cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.
Notes
- For a low-carb meal, serve over cauliflower rice instead of traditional grains.
- Add sliced jalapeños to the beef mixture for an extra spicy kick.
- You can substitute cream cheese with ricotta for a lighter texture.
- Use provolone cheese for a more authentic Philly cheesesteak flavor, or mozzarella for a milder cheese option.
