Ingredients
1.5 pounds ground beef
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
3 large eggs
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup shredded provolone cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Chopped chives or parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, sauté the bell peppers and onions until soft and slightly caramelized.
4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream cheese, eggs, heavy cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
5. In a greased 9×13 casserole dish, layer the cooked beef, then the sautéed veggies.
6. Pour the cream cheese mixture evenly over the layers.
7. Top with shredded provolone and mozzarella cheese.
8. Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes or until the center is set and the cheese is golden.
9. Let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with chives or parsley if desired.
Notes
Letting the casserole rest before slicing helps it hold together and keeps the layers intact.
Use freshly shredded cheese for the best melt and texture.
Want more flavor? Add sautéed mushrooms or a dash of Worcestershire sauce to the beef mixture.
