Method
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook diced onions and peppers for 5-6 minutes until softened.
- Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Cooking
- Add ground beef to the skillet, season with salt and pepper. Cook, breaking up the meat, until browned, about 7-8 minutes.
- Stir in Worcestershire sauce, coating the meat mixture.
- Reduce heat to low. Mix in softened cream cheese until melted and creamy.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared dish, spreading it evenly.
- Layer provolone slices over the beef, then sprinkle shredded mozzarella on top.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Serve the casserole warm, straight from the oven. It pairs well with a simple side salad or steamed vegetables. You can also serve it with a dollop of sour cream or hot sauce for added flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. To reheat, warm it in the microwave or oven. For variations, consider using other vegetables like mushrooms or spinach, or substitute ground beef with cooked shredded chicken.
