Ingredients
- 1 pound 93/7 lean ground beef
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 diced medium onion
- 1/2 diced green bell pepper
- 1/2 diced red bell pepper
Cheese sauce
- 4 ounce full fat cream cheese
- 1/2 cup mayo
- 1/2 cup shredded white American cheese
Topping
- 1/2 cup shredded provolone cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F, dice bell peppers, onions and shredded cheeses.
- In a pan on high heat sauté ground beef until brown. Be sure to season the ground beef with all the spices. You may have to add a little fat to help it cook since it's so lean. Beef tallow would be the best here.
- Remove from pan, then add in bell peppers and onions. Salt and pepper them and cook until tender. Once done, turn off heat and add the ground beef back in. Mix them together then allow them to sit while you make cream sauce.
- Combine cream cheese and mayo. You may have to add some heat so that they come together such as a small pan or microwave.
- Add seasoned ground beef, bell peppers, onions, cream sauce and 1/2 cup shredded white American cheese into a 8x8 casserole dish.
- Top off with the shredded provolone. Place in oven for 20 minutes until cheese is melted and browned to your liking. Remove and allow to cool.
Notes
Helpful Recipe Tips
- How do I add noodles? If you'd like to use noodles here are your instructions. Boil the noodles first, then drain them. Make all other ingredients the same as in the instructions in the recipe for the exception of the cream sauce. In the cream sauce, add 1 cup of beef broth. This will thin it out some to make room for the noodles. Then, continue to bake the recipe as stated.
- Where to find cheeses, I could not find white American or provolone in block form in my grocery store. My secret, I went to the deli section. There you can choose a higher quality white American cheese other than Kraft. To add, they have great provolones there. Simply ask for about half a pound from the block. They will cut it so that you can go home and shred it for yourself.
- Adding ingredients and subbing, you can sub or add any ingredients you'd like. As mentioned, I love mushrooms but I just didn't add them here. For instructions on adding sliced steak I will include them as well.
What Meat Is Used For A Philly Cheesesteak
In this recipe I use ground beef. But, using thinly sliced steak is a great sub in a Philly cheesesteak casserole. It's actually more authentic that way. Typically, you are going to have thinly slice ribeye steak in a sandwich, a real one that is. Not that steak um stuff. Any thinly sliced steak will work just fine. If using thinly sliced steak you will need to use less of the cream sauce. Unless you're adding sliced steak and noodles.Nutrition
