Ingredients
  

For the Casserole
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1.5 lbs ground beef
  • 1 large onion thinly sliced
  • 1 large green bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 8 oz mushrooms sliced
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 8 slices provolone cheese

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • 9x13-inch baking dish
  • Knife
  • Cutting board

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Drain the excess fat and set the beef aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the sliced onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Reduce the heat to low. Add the softened cream cheese, heavy cream, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until the cream cheese is melted and everything is well combined.
  5. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it in an even layer.
  6. Arrange the provolone cheese slices over the top of the casserole, covering the surface.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the casserole is heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

You can substitute thinly sliced steak, like ribeye or sirloin, for the ground beef. Cook the steak strips in the skillet until just browned before proceeding with the recipe.
