Dairy
- 8 Slices provolone cheese
- 4 Large eggs
- ¼ cup Heavy whipping cream
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it’s ready when your casserole is assembled.
- Cook Ground Beef: In a skillet over medium-high heat, begin browning the ground beef. Cook until it’s partially browned, breaking it up as it cooks.

- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy whipping cream, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth and combined.
- Pour Egg Mixture: Pour this creamy egg mixture evenly over the layered beef and cheese in the casserole dish.
- Bake: Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and cooked through.
- Serve and Enjoy: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious Philly Cheesesteak Casserole warm.

- For a spicier casserole, consider adding sliced jalapeños with the peppers and onions.
- If desired, add mushrooms for extra flavor and texture.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated.
- This dish pairs well with a simple green salad for a balanced meal.
