Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1.5 lb lean ground beef
- 4 slices Provolone cheese
- 4 large eggs
Supporting Ingredients:
- 2 bell peppers
- 0.5 yellow onion
- 1 clove garlic
- ¼ cup heavy cream
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
Instructions
- Heat your oven to precisely 350°F and coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray, ensuring complete surface coverage.
- Grab a large skillet and sauté 1 ½ lb ground beef with 2 diced bell peppers, ½ diced yellow onion, and 1 minced garlic clove over medium heat. Cook until beef browns completely and vegetables soften, approximately 8-10 minutes.
- Drain any accumulated fat from your meat mixture to keep the casserole from becoming greasy.
- Spread the seasoned beef mixture evenly across your prepared baking dish, creating a uniform base layer.
- Layer 4 Provolone cheese slices directly over the beef, allowing them to slightly overlap and cover the surface.
- Whisk 4 large eggs with ¼ cup heavy cream, 1 tsp hot sauce, and 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce until thoroughly combined and slightly frothy.
- Carefully pour the egg mixture over the cheese and beef, ensuring complete and even distribution.
- Transfer the dish to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, watching for a golden-brown top and completely set eggs.
- Remove from oven and let the casserole rest 5-7 minutes before slicing to allow ingredients to settle and stabilize.
Notes
- Always drain the beef completely to prevent a watery casserole and ensure a rich, concentrated flavor.
- Select full-fat dairy products for the creamiest texture and most authentic Philly cheese steak experience.
- Slice bell peppers and onions thinly to help them cook evenly and distribute throughout the casserole.
- For a lower-carb version, replace ground beef with sliced steak and skip any additional breading or side starches.
