Ingredients
  

For the Meat and Veggies
  • 1 pound Ground beef You can use ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
  • 1 Large onion Shallots make for a milder onion taste if preferred.
  • 2 Large bell peppers Feel free to use any variety of bell peppers you love.
  • 2 Garlic cloves Fresh minced garlic is best for that aromatic touch.
For the Casserole Base
  • 8 ounces Cream cheese Swap for Neufchâtel cheese for a lighter option.
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce Soy sauce works as a gluten-free alternative if needed.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Adjust to your taste preference.
  • 1 teaspoon Pepper Adjust to your taste preference.
For the Cheese Topping
  • 8 ounces Provolone cheese Mozzarella or Gouda could be used instead for a different twist.
  • 1 cup Shredded mozzarella Opt for low-moisture mozzarella for optimal melting.

Equipment

  • 9x13-inch baking dish

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray.
  2. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions and bell peppers, stirring frequently for about 5-6 minutes until softened.
  3. Toss in the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 30 seconds until aromatic.
  4. Incorporate the ground beef into the skillet, seasoning with salt and pepper, and cook for about 7-8 minutes until browned.
  5. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce until combined, allowing it to simmer for a minute.
  6. Lower the heat and mix in the softened cream cheese until it melts and incorporates smoothly.
  7. Spread the beef mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish. Layer slices of provolone cheese over the top, followed by shredded mozzarella.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  9. Remove from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
