Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 lbs ground beef (80/20 fat ratio preferred)
  • 1 large onion (diced)
  • 2 large bell peppers (green, red, or mixed, diced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 8 oz cream cheese (softened to room temperature)
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 8 oz provolone cheese (sliced)
  • 1.5 cups mozzarella cheese (shredded)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray a 9×13 baking dish with non-stick spray.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onions and bell peppers, cooking for 5-6 minutes until they start to soften and become fragrant.
  • Add minced garlic, cooking for another 30 seconds while stirring constantly to prevent burning.
  • Introduce ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with your spatula as it cooks. Season it with salt and pepper, cooking for 7-8 minutes until completely browned with no pink remaining. If needed, drain excess fat.
  • Stir in Worcestershire sauce to enhance the flavor of the meat mixture. Reduce heat to low, then add the softened cream cheese, stirring until completely melted and creamy.
  • Transfer the mixture to your prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Layer torn provolone pieces over the beef, then top with shredded mozzarella for that perfect cheese pull.
  • Bake for 22-25 minutes until the cheese melts, bubbles, and turns lightly golden on top. Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld together.

Notes

Serve this casserole hot from the oven for the ultimate cheese experience. It pairs well with a crisp green salad for added freshness and crunch. Consider offering a side of low-carb dipping sauce or pickles for an added burst of flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
