Ingredients
Scale
Meat & Vegetables
- 1½ lb ground beef
- 2 bell peppers, chopped
- ½ onion, chopped
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp seasoned salt
Dairy & Eggs
- 8 slices provolone cheese
- 4 large eggs
- ¼ cup heavy whipping cream
Condiments & Seasonings
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare baking dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Brown the ground beef: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until it is no longer pink and fully browned.
- Sauté vegetables: Add the chopped bell peppers, onions, minced garlic, and seasoned salt to the skillet with the beef. Cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
- Transfer to baking dish: Spread the beef and vegetable mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish, creating a uniform base layer.
- Prepare egg mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy whipping cream, and Worcestershire sauce until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Combine and layer: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the beef and vegetable base in the baking dish.
- Add cheese topping: Lay the slices of provolone cheese over the top of the casserole, covering the surface completely for that classic Philly cheesesteak flavor.
- Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted and lightly browned on top.
