Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 lbs ground beef
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 2 large bell peppers (green, red, or a mix), diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 oz (1 package) cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 oz provolone cheese, sliced
  • 1½ cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 9×13 inch baking dish with non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Cook the Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onions and bell peppers, cooking for 5-6 minutes until they begin to soften. Add minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Brown the Beef: Add ground beef to the skillet with vegetables. Season with salt and pepper. Break up the meat with a spatula and cook until fully browned, about 7-8 minutes.
  4. Add Seasonings: Stir in Worcestershire sauce to coat the meat mixture, enhancing the flavors.
  5. Incorporate Cream Cheese: Reduce heat to low. Add softened cream cheese, stirring until it melts completely and evenly coats the beef and vegetables, creating a creamy texture.
  6. Transfer to Baking Dish: Transfer the combined mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  7. Top with Cheese: Layer sliced provolone cheese over the beef mixture, then sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly on top.
  8. Bake to Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.
  9. Rest Before Serving: Allow the casserole to rest for 5 minutes to let flavors meld and make serving easier.

Notes

  • Use a mix of bell pepper colors for a more vibrant dish.
  • For softer cream cheese, leave it out at room temperature before cooking.
  • Substitute provolone and mozzarella with other cheeses like cheddar if preferred.
  • This casserole can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
  • Consider adding some sliced mushrooms or hot sauce for a twist.
