Philly Cheesesteak Casserole
Description
This casserole begins by browning ground beef and draining excess fat. A mixture of chopped onions, green bell peppers, mushrooms, Worcestershire sauce, cream cheese, sour cream, and milk is combined with the beef, creating a creamy and flavorful filling. In a baking dish, a layer of frozen cubed hash browns is evenly spread and topped with slices of provolone and mozzarella cheese. The beef and vegetable mixture follows as a layer, then is covered again with remaining slices of both cheeses. The dish is baked covered first to avoid burning the cheese, then uncovered to allow the top layer to become golden and bubbly.
The texture balances crispy edges of baked potatoes with creamy, cheesy meat filling, echoing the flavors of a classic Philly cheesesteak sandwich but with the convenience of a one-dish meal. The combination of soft cooked vegetables and melted cheeses provides richness and depth.
This casserole is served warm, portioned into eight servings. It works well as a main dish for dinner or a comforting meal. The recipe notes using most of a 32-ounce bag of frozen hash browns with some left over for other uses, showing ease in portioning.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1 yellow onion chopped
- 1 green bell pepper chopped
- 1 cup mushrooms chopped
- 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- ½ cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 5 ½ cups hash brown 28 ounces, frozen, cubed
- 12 lices provolone cheese
- 12 lices mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef to pan and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until no longer pink. Break up the beef at it cooks. Drain excess grease and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine onion, bell pepper, mushrooms, Worcestershire sauce, cream cheese, sour cream, and milk. Set aside.
- Add ground beef to vegetable mixture and stir to combine.
- Add the hash browns to a 9-inch x 13-inch baking dish, and spread out into an even layer.
- Place 6 slices of provolone and 6 slices of mozzarella on top of the potatoes to cover the layer.
- Add ground beef mixture over the cheese and spread into an even layer. Top the casserole with 6 slices of each cheese.
- Cover the baking dish with foil so the cheese doesn't burn.
- Bake for 40 minutes. Carefully remove the foil from the pan and bake for another 10 minutes to get the cheese golden and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and cut into 8 portions. Serve warm.
Notes
- Use about 3/4 of a 32-ounce bag of frozen cubed hash browns for this recipe, saving the rest for later.
- Cover baking dish initially to prevent cheese from burning, then uncover near the end to brown cheese.
