Ingredients
- The Meat: 1.5 lbs ground beef or thinly sliced steak (like ribeye or sirloin).
- The Veggies:
- 2 large green bell peppers, sliced or diced.
- 1 medium yellow onion, sliced.
- Optional: 8 oz sliced mushrooms.
- The Creamy Layer:
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened.
- 2 tbsp heavy cream or beef broth.
- The Cheese: 8–10 slices of Provolone cheese or 2 cups shredded Mozzarella.
- Seasonings: 1 tsp garlic powder, salt, and plenty of black pepper.
Instructions
- Sauté: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the beef (or steak strips) with the onions and peppers until the meat is cooked through and the vegetables are tender. Drain any excess grease.
- Flavor: Stir in the garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Lower the heat and add the softened cream cheese and heavy cream, stirring until the meat and veggies are coated in a velvety sauce.
- Transfer: Spread the mixture evenly into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Top: Cover the entire surface with the Provolone slices or shredded cheese.
- Bake: Bake at 350°F for 15–20 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted, bubbly, and just beginning to turn golden brown.
- Garnish: Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
