Ingredients
  

For the Casserole
  • 1 pound Ground Beef Look for 80/20 for a great balance of flavor and moisture.
  • 1 medium Onion, sliced Adds sweetness and depth; shallots are a nice substitute.
  • 1 Green Bell Pepper, sliced Brings a fresh crunch; red or yellow peppers offer a sweeter flavor.
  • 1 Red Bell Pepper, sliced Enhances both flavor and color with its natural sweetness.
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced Adds a fragrant, savory element; fresh is best but garlic powder works too.
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream Creates a creamy texture; opt for full-fat coconut milk for a dairy-free option.
  • 1 cup Shredded Provolone Cheese Melts beautifully, giving that classic cheesesteak taste.
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce Adds umami depth; soy sauce can be a quick alternative.
  • 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning A blend of herbs to elevate flavor; can substitute with oregano or basil.
  • Salt and Pepper Essential for seasoning; add to taste for enhancing all flavors.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Needed for cooking the beef and veggies; avocado oil is a great swap.
  • Fresh Parsley For garnish; adds a pop of color and freshness; optional for serving.

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking your casserole.
  2. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 pound of ground beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add sliced onion and bell peppers to the skillet, and minced garlic. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
  4. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, and salt and pepper to taste. Allow to cook for another 2 minutes.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine heavy cream with half of the shredded provolone cheese until smooth.
  6. Pour the creamy cheese mixture over the beef and vegetable mixture, stirring to coat. Transfer to a greased baking dish.
  7. Sprinkle remaining shredded provolone cheese on top of the casserole.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  9. Let the casserole sit for about 5 minutes before serving.
