Baked Philly Cheesesteak Casserole is a hearty and flavorful dish inspired by the classic Philly cheesesteak sandwich, combining tender beef, sautéed vegetables, melty cheese, and a creamy egg base for a satisfying one-pan meal. Here’s an easy recipe to try:
Ingredients:
- 1 lb thinly sliced beef (ribeye or sirloin works best)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 onion, sliced
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced (optional)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup heavy cream (or milk for a lighter version)
- 2 cups shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for extra flavor)
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
Directions:
- Preheat the oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray or butter.
- Cook the beef:
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced beef and cook until browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook the vegetables:
- In the same skillet, add the sliced bell pepper, onion, mushrooms (if using), and garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce.
- Assemble the casserole:
- Spread the cooked beef evenly in the bottom of the prepared casserole dish. Layer the sautéed vegetables over the beef. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese over the top.
- Prepare the egg mixture:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream. Pour the mixture evenly over the beef and vegetables in the casserole dish.
- Add the final layer of cheese:
- Sprinkle the remaining cheese (provolone/mozzarella and cheddar) evenly over the top.
- Bake the casserole:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is set and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Serve:
- Allow the casserole to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley or a drizzle of hot sauce if desired.
This Baked Philly Cheesesteak Casserole is a crowd-pleaser and makes a fantastic low-carb alternative to the classic sandwich. Serve it with a side salad or garlic bread for a complete meal!
