Description
This Philly Cheesesteak Casserole transforms the iconic sandwich into a hearty, low-carb oven-baked dish made with ground beef, bell peppers, onions, provolone cheese, and a creamy egg custard base. It’s flavorful, satisfying, and perfect for weeknights or meal prep.
Ingredients
1½ lb ground beef
2 bell peppers, chopped
½ onion, chopped
2 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp seasoned salt
8 slices provolone cheese
4 large eggs
¼ cup heavy whipping cream
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef until no longer pink, breaking it up as it cooks.
- Add the chopped bell peppers, onions, minced garlic, and seasoned salt. Sauté for 4–5 minutes until vegetables are soft.
- Transfer the beef and vegetable mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth.
- Pour the egg mixture over the beef and vegetables in the dish.
- Top with provolone cheese slices, covering the surface.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until eggs are set and cheese is melted and lightly browned.
Notes
Use sliced steak instead of ground beef for a more authentic Philly cheesesteak flavor.
Add mushrooms for extra umami.
Swap provolone with mozzarella, cheddar, or pepper jack for variety.
Add jalapeños or crushed red pepper for heat.
Mix in keto bread cubes for a more traditional casserole feel while staying low carb.
