Ingredients
- Ground Beef: 1 ½ pounds
- Green Bell Peppers: 2, sliced thin
- Yellow Onion: ½, sliced thin
- Garlic: 2 teaspoons, minced
- Seasoned Salt: 1 teaspoon
- Provolone Cheese: 8 slices
- Eggs: 4 large
- Worcestershire Sauce: 2 teaspoons
- Heavy Whipping Cream: ¼ cup
Preparation
Step 1: Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking.
Step 2: Cook Ground Beef
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until it’s fully browned and crumbled. Drain any excess fat to keep the dish lighter.
Step 3: Sauté Vegetables
Add the sliced bell peppers, onion, and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the vegetables are tender and fragrant. Season with seasoned salt for added flavor.
Step 4: Prepare Egg Mixture
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, Worcestershire sauce, and heavy cream until well combined. This mixture will bind the casserole together.
Step 5: Combine Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the cooked ground beef and sautéed vegetables with the egg mixture. Stir until everything is evenly distributed.
Step 6: Assemble Casserole
Spread the mixture evenly into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Top with slices of provolone cheese for a gooey, cheesy finish.
Step 7: Bake
Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden.
Step 8: Cool and Serve
Allow the casserole to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. This helps it set and makes it easier to slice. Enjoy this warm, comforting dish with your loved ones!
