🛒 Ingredients

Main Ingredients:

• 1½ lb lean ground beef
  (Lean beef keeps this dish hearty without being overly greasy.)

• 2 bell peppers, diced
  (Use red, green, or yellow—whatever you like or have on hand!)

• ½ yellow onion, diced
  (Adds sweetness and depth.)

• 1 clove garlic, minced
  (Fresh garlic brings out all the savory notes.)

• 1 tsp seasoned salt (like Lawry’s or Morton’s)
  (Adds flavor—adjust to your taste.)

• 4 slices Provolone cheese
  (For that signature Philly cheesesteak melt.)

Egg Mixture:

• 4 large eggs
  (Binds everything together and adds protein.)

• ¼ cup heavy cream
  (Makes the egg mixture rich and creamy.)

• 1 tsp hot sauce (optional)
  (For a little heat—Tabasco or Frank’s works great!)

• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  (Adds a deep, umami flavor that complements the beef.)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Cook the Beef

In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked and crumbled (about 5–7 minutes). Drain any excess grease to keep the casserole on the lighter side.

Step 3: Sauté the Veggies

Add the diced bell peppers, onions, and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Sauté for another 4–5 minutes, until the veggies are tender and fragrant. Season with seasoned salt to taste.

Step 4: Assemble the Casserole

Transfer the beef and veggie mixture into your prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. Lay the Provolone slices over the top so they cover the meat mixture completely—this will melt into a gooey, cheesy topping.

Step 5: Mix the Eggs

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, hot sauce, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth and well combined.

Step 6: Bake

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the casserole. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden and bubbly. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Step 7: Serve & Enjoy

Let the casserole sit for 5–10 minutes to set before slicing. Serve with a fresh green salad or crusty bread (if you’re not watching carbs). It’s delicious hot, but also reheats beautifully for leftovers.
