Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef (or thinly sliced steak)
- 1 bell pepper (green or red), diced
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 ½ cups shredded provolone cheese (or mozzarella)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch casserole dish with olive oil or non-stick spray.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil or butter. Once hot, add the ground beef or sliced steak. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of oil if needed. Sauté the diced onion and garlic for around 2 minutes until translucent. Add the diced bell pepper and sliced mushrooms, cooking for an additional 5-6 minutes until softened.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked beef, sautéed vegetables, heavy cream, and Italian seasoning. Mix well to ensure everything is evenly distributed.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out in an even layer. Top with shredded provolone cheese followed by shredded cheddar cheese.
- Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before slicing and serving.
