🛒 What You’ll Need

🥩 1½ lbs ground beef

🧅 1 large onion, diced

🫑 1 green bell pepper, diced

🍄 8 oz mushrooms, sliced

🧄 2 cloves garlic, minced

🥛 ½ cup beef broth

🧀 4 oz cream cheese, softened

🧂 1 teaspoon salt

🌶️ ½ teaspoon black pepper

🌿 ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning

🧀 1½ cups shredded provolone cheese

🧀 ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

👩‍🍳 How to Make It

🔥 Preheat the oven:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

🥩 Brown the beef:

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain any excess grease.

🧅🫑🍄 Cook the vegetables:

Add the onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms. Cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.

🧄 Add the garlic:

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds.

🥣 Make it creamy:

Reduce the heat to low. Add the cream cheese and beef broth, stirring until the cream cheese melts into a smooth, savory sauce.

🌿 Season:

Stir in the salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.

🧀 Transfer to the casserole dish:

Spread the beef mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.

🧀🔥 Top with cheese:

Sprinkle the provolone and mozzarella evenly over the top.

🔥 Bake:

Bake uncovered for 15–20 minutes, until hot and bubbling and the cheese is beautifully melted.

⏰ Rest and serve:

Let the casserole rest for about 5 minutes before serving.

💡 A Little Tip

For the most cheesesteak-like flavor, use provolone generously. You can also add a few slices of white American cheese underneath the shredded cheese for an extra creamy, melty finish. 😋

✨ Want to Make It Your Own?

🥩 Use thinly sliced steak instead of ground beef.

🌶️ Add banana peppers for a little tang and heat.

🍄 Skip the mushrooms if they’re not your thing.

🧀 Try white American cheese for an extra-creamy topping.

🥖 Serve with toasted hoagie rolls for scooping up all that cheesy beef!
