Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 2 bell peppers (green or red), sliced
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced (optional)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 cups shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese
- Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat and set aside.
- In the same skillet, heat olive oil and sauté onions, peppers, and mushrooms (if using) until softened, about 6–8 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 more minute.
- Return beef to skillet. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Spread beef and veggie mixture into prepared baking dish.
- In a small bowl, whisk cream cheese and mayonnaise until smooth. Spread over beef mixture.
- Sprinkle shredded provolone evenly on top.
- Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
Notes
- Use thinly sliced steak instead of ground beef for a more authentic Philly flavor.
- Add jalapeños for spice or swap in pepper jack cheese.
- Serve with crusty bread or over rice, pasta, or cauliflower rice for a full meal.
- Make ahead by assembling and refrigerating—just bake when ready.
- Leftovers reheat well in the oven or microwave.
