🍳 Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Cook the Beef: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef or shaved steak until fully cooked. Drain excess fat.
- Sauté the Veggies: Add onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, and garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 5–6 minutes until softened and fragrant. Stir in salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and Worcestershire sauce.
- Assemble the Casserole: Spread the cooked beef and vegetable mixture evenly into the baking dish.
- Prepare the Creamy Layer: In a mixing bowl, whisk together cream cheese, mayonnaise, and eggs until smooth. Pour over the beef mixture.
- Add Cheese and Bake: Sprinkle with provolone and mozzarella. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbling.
- Rest and Serve: Allow the casserole to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Serve it as is for a low-carb meal, or spoon it into toasted hoagie rolls for the ultimate Philly-style experience. Each bite is creamy, cheesy, and bursting with classic flavor!
