| Green bell pepper | 1 | Sliced |
| Onion | 1 | Sliced |
| Garlic | 2 cloves | Minced |

👩🍳 Instructions:
- Preheat Oven:
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×9-inch or 8×11-inch baking dish. - Cook the Beef & Veggies:
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat.
Add onion, bell pepper, and garlic, and sauté for about 5 minutes, until softened. - Add Flavor Base:
Stir in Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix in the cream cheese until melted and creamy. - Assemble the Casserole:
Transfer the beef mixture into the prepared baking dish.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and cream. Pour this mixture evenly over the beef.
Top with provolone cheese slices (or shredded provolone). - Bake to Perfection:
Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbling, and the edges are slightly golden. - Serve & Enjoy:
Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve as-is or with toasted rolls for a true Philly-style experience.
🍴 Tips & Variations:
- Add mushrooms for extra flavor and texture.
- Swap ground beef for shaved ribeye or sirloin for a more traditional cheesesteak feel.
- For a low-carb version, skip the bread and serve with a side salad or roasted veggies.
