Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 24 ounces ground beef
- 4 large eggs
Vegetables:
- 3 bell peppers
- 1 large onion
- 2 cloves garlic
Supporting Ingredients:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon seasoned salt
- 8 ounces provolone cheese
Instructions
- Warm your oven to 350°F. Coat a 9×9-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high and add 1.5 pounds ground beef. Cook until meat starts browning, about 3-4 minutes.
- Chop 1 large onion and 2 bell peppers. Add them to the skillet with beef. Continue cooking until meat is completely browned and vegetables soften, approximately 5-6 minutes.
- Mince 3 garlic cloves and sprinkle 1 teaspoon seasoned salt into the skillet. Stir for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Drain excess grease from the meat mixture. Spread evenly across the prepared baking dish.
- Layer 6-8 provolone cheese slices completely over the beef mixture, ensuring full coverage.
- Whisk 3 large eggs, 1 cup heavy cream, and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce in a separate bowl until smooth.
- Pour egg mixture gently over the meat and cheese layers, distributing evenly.
- Bake at 350°F for 35-40 minutes until the center sets and top turns golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let casserole rest 5 minutes before slicing into square servings.
Notes
- Always drain excess grease thoroughly to prevent a soggy casserole and ensure a crisp bottom layer.
- Select thinly sliced beef like ribeye or sirloin for the most authentic Philly cheesesteak flavor and tender texture.
- Room temperature ingredients help the egg custard blend smoothly and cook more evenly across your casserole.
- For a lower-carb version, replace cream with half-and-half and serve with a side salad instead of bread.
