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 cream cheese (1 package)
  • 8 oz provolone cheese, sliced
  • 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F to prepare for baking the casserole.
  2. Cook Ground Beef: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef, breaking it into pieces. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 7-8 minutes until browned and cooked through. Drain excess fat to keep the dish from being greasy.
  3. Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add diced onions and bell peppers. Sauté for 5 minutes until they soften and develop caramelized flavor. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  4. Combine Meat and Vegetables: Return the cooked ground beef to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Stir in Worcestershire sauce and let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes to blend the flavors.
  5. Add Cream Cheese: Stir in cream cheese until it melts completely and evenly coats the beef and vegetable mixture, creating a creamy consistency.
  6. Prepare Casserole Dish: Transfer the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch casserole dish. Spread it out evenly for uniform layers.
  7. Layer Cheeses: Arrange the provolone cheese slices over the top of the beef mixture so the entire surface is covered. Then sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top for a melty, cheesy finish.
  8. Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden on top.
  9. Serve: Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving to allow it to set and enhance the flavors.

Notes

  • You can use a mix of green and red bell peppers for a colorful casserole.
  • Drain the excess fat from the beef to prevent the casserole from becoming too greasy.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding sliced mushrooms or a dash of hot sauce to the beef mixture.
  • This casserole pairs well with a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal.
