Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Vegetables

  • 1 ½ lb. Ground beef
  • 2 Bell peppers, chopped
  • ½ Onion, chopped
  • 2 tsp. Minced garlic

Seasonings and Extras

  • 1 tsp. Seasoned salt
  • 2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce

Dairy

  • 8 Slices provolone cheese
  • 4 Large eggs
  • ¼ cup Heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it’s ready when your casserole is assembled.
  2. 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.
  3. Add Vegetables: Add chopped onions and bell peppers to the skillet with the partially browned meat. Continue cooking until the meat is fully browned and the vegetables start to soften.
  4. Season and Saute: Stir in seasoned salt and minced garlic, cooking for about 30 seconds more to enhance the flavors. Drain any excess grease from the skillet to avoid a greasy casserole.
  5. Assemble Casserole: Lightly grease a 9×9 inch baking dish, then layer the cooked beef and vegetable mixture evenly on the bottom.
  6. Add Cheese: Place the 8 slices of provolone cheese evenly over the beef mixture to create a cheesy layer.
  7. Prepare Egg Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy whipping cream, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth and combined.
  8. Pour Egg Mixture: Pour this creamy egg mixture evenly over the layered beef and cheese in the casserole dish.
  9. Bake: Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and cooked through.
  10. Serve and Enjoy: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious Philly Cheesesteak Casserole warm.

Notes

  • You can substitute the heavy whipping cream with half-and-half for a lighter version.
  • 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.
