Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Vegetables

  • 1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
  • 2 bell peppers, diced
  • 1/2 yellow onion, diced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

Seasonings and Sauces

  • 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Cheese and Custard

  • 4 slices Provolone cheese, torn into pieces
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a 9×9 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray to ensure the casserole doesn’t stick.
  2. Prepare Vegetables: Dice the bell peppers and onion into bite-sized pieces, then mince the garlic clove to release its flavor.
  3. Cook Ground Beef: Add the lean ground beef to a skillet over medium heat. Cook while crumbling the meat until it is partially browned but still pink in the center.
  4. Sauté Vegetables with Beef: Add the diced peppers, onion, minced garlic, and seasoned salt to the skillet. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the beef is thoroughly cooked and the vegetables have softened.
  5. Drain and Transfer: Drain excess grease from the skillet. Pour the cooked beef and vegetable mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  6. Add Cheese: Tear the Provolone cheese slices into small pieces and scatter them evenly over the beef mixture in the dish.
  7. Prepare Egg Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, hot sauce, and Worcestershire sauce until well combined.
  8. Pour and Bake: Pour the egg custard evenly over the meat and cheese layers in the baking dish. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes or until the eggs are fully set and the casserole is cooked through.
  9. Rest and Serve: Remove from oven and let the casserole sit for 5 minutes to firm up before slicing and serving for the best texture.

Notes

  • Use lean ground beef to reduce grease in the final dish.
  • You can substitute Provolone with other melting cheeses like mozzarella or cheddar if preferred.
  • Adjust the hot sauce amount to your preferred spice level.
  • For extra veggies, consider adding mushrooms or sliced jalapeños in step 4.
  • This casserole reheats well, making it great for meal prep.
