Low Carb Philly Cheesesteak Casserole
A hearty low carb casserole inspired by the classic Philly cheesesteak, combining savory beef, peppers, onions, cream cheese, and melted provolone for a comforting oven baked dish.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef or thinly sliced steak
- 1 green bell pepper sliced
- 1 small onion sliced
- 1 cup shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese
- 4 oz cream cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional garlic powder
- Optional sliced mushrooms or hot peppers
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) so it’s ready for baking.
- Cook ground beef or sliced steak in a skillet over medium heat until browned and fully cooked, then drain excess fat.
- Add sliced bell pepper and onion and cook about 5 minutes until softened and fragrant.
- Stir in cream cheese with salt, pepper, and garlic powder if using, mixing until creamy and well combined.
- Lightly grease a baking dish and spread the meat mixture evenly inside.
- Sprinkle shredded provolone or mozzarella on top and add optional mushrooms or hot peppers if desired.
- Bake for about 20 minutes until the cheese melts and becomes bubbly and lightly golden.
- Let the casserole rest 3–5 minutes before serving so it sets slightly.
