Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 pound (1 lb) ribeye steak or ground beef
Vegetables:
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (optional)
Dairy and Seasonings:
- 8 ounces (8 oz) cream cheese
- 1 cup shredded provolone cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup beef broth
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F, preparing a casserole dish for a hearty Philly-inspired meal.
- In a skillet over medium heat, sauté diced onions, bell peppers, and minced garlic until they become translucent and fragrant.
- Add ground beef or thinly sliced ribeye, breaking it into crumbles and cooking until completely browned and no pink remains.
- Enhance the meat’s flavor by incorporating Worcestershire sauce, seasoning with salt and black pepper, then remove from heat.
- Blend cream cheese and beef broth into the meat mixture, creating a rich and creamy consistency.
- Transfer the savory mixture to the casserole dish, ensuring an even distribution.
- Generously sprinkle shredded provolone and mozzarella cheese across the top, creating a melty, golden blanket.
- Place in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and slightly golden brown.
- Allow the casserole to rest for 3-5 minutes before serving, letting the flavors meld and the dish settle.
Notes
- Ensure meat is thinly sliced or ground for tender, easy-to-eat texture that mimics authentic Philly cheesesteak.
- Drain excess fat after browning meat to prevent greasy casserole and maintain clean, rich flavor profile.
- Use low-sodium beef broth to control salt levels and prevent dish from becoming overly salty.
- Consider substituting ground turkey or plant-based meat alternatives for a lighter, healthier version that still delivers robust taste.
