Philly Cheesesteak Casserole (The Very Best)
Description
The Philly Cheesesteak Casserole begins by browning ground beef in a skillet, seasoning simply with salt and black pepper. Diced green and red bell peppers and onions are added to the beef, sautéed until softened, combining their sweetness with the meat's savory flavor.
Cream cheese is stirred in at the end of cooking, enriching the mixture and binding the ingredients. The mixture is then topped with provolone cheese slices arranged evenly, which melt under brief baking at 350°F to create a gooey, golden topping that imitates the melted cheese of a traditional Philly cheesesteak.
This casserole offers an easy way to enjoy the hallmark flavors of a cheesesteak sandwich without assembling individual sandwiches. It can be served with bread or on its own as a hearty main dish.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs ground beef 85% lean or leaner
- 1/2 tsp black pepper ground
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 green bell pepper cut into cubes, large
- 1 red bell pepper cut into cubes, large
- 1 onion diced, large
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 8 provolone cheese slices
Instructions
- Preheat an oven-safe skillet on the stovetop over medium heat. Add in the ground beef to the skillet, breaking a part the larger chunks as you cook it. Season the beef with salt and pepper.
- Add in the diced onion and bell peppers, sautéing the mixture until the veggies soften.
- Stir in the cream cheese and remove the mixture from the stovetop.
- Cover the entire top of the meat mixture with slices of provolone cheese.
- Bake the casserole in the oven at 350°F for about 15 minutes or until the top is golden and the cheese is melted. Serve right away.
