Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 pound ground beef
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1 cup shredded provolone cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 6 oz sliced provolone cheese (for topping)
- Cooking spray, for greasing
Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Sauté the Vegetables: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onion and bell pepper until they’re tender and golden, about 5 minutes. Add in the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Cook the Beef: Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until the beef is browned and crumbled, which should take around 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
- Combine the Ingredients: Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and then the cream cheese until well combined and the cream cheese is melted. Pour in the beef broth and let it simmer for a couple of minutes to get all those flavors to mingle.
- Assemble the Casserole: Remove the skillet from the heat and spoon the beef mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle both the shredded provolone and mozzarella evenly over the beef.
- Add the Cheese Topping: Lay the sliced provolone cheese on top to cover the casserole. I like to overlap the slices a bit to ensure every bite has that gooey cheese pull.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is bubbling and starts to get those irresistible golden-brown spots.
- Serve: Let the casserole stand for about 5 minutes before serving – if you can wait that long!

- Use Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor, use fresh onions and bell peppers. Frozen vegetables can work in a pinch but may release more moisture, potentially making the dish a bit watery.
- Don’t Overcook the Beef: Browning the beef too much can make it tough. Cook it until it’s just crumbled and browned for a tender texture.
- Layering Cheese: Ensure the cheese is evenly spread. This helps create that perfect, gooey layer of melted cheese on top.
