Ingredients
1.5 lbs ground beef
2 medium green bell peppers, diced
1 medium yellow onion, diced
1 cup sliced mushrooms
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp garlic powder
Salt and black pepper to taste
1 cup shredded provolone cheese (or mozzarella)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
2. Brown the Beef: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until completely browned and no longer pink. Drain excess grease, then transfer the beef to a clean plate.
3. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the diced green bell peppers, sliced onions, and mushrooms. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
4. Combine and Season: Turn the heat to low. Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Add the softened cream cheese, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir constantly until the cream cheese is fully melted and coats the beef and vegetable mixture evenly.
5. Assemble the Casserole: Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer.
6. Top and Bake: Sprinkle the shredded provolone and cheddar cheeses evenly over the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden brown on top. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
