Ingredients

Ingredient	Amount
Ground beef or shaved steak	1½ lbs
Onion, diced	1 medium
Green bell pepper, diced	1
Red bell pepper, diced	1
Mushrooms, sliced	8 oz
Garlic, minced	2 cloves
Salt	1 tsp
Black pepper	½ tsp
Smoked paprika (optional)	½ tsp
Worcestershire sauce	1 tbsp
Cream cheese, softened	8 oz
Mayonnaise	½ cup
Eggs	2 large
Provolone cheese, shredded	1 cup
Mozzarella cheese, shredded	1 cup

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or a thin layer of oil. Set aside.

Step 2: Cook the Beef
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef (or cook the shaved steak) until fully cooked through. Drain off any excess grease and return the skillet to the stove.

Step 3: Sauté the Vegetables
Add the diced onion, bell peppers, sliced mushrooms, and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook for 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened. Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika (if using), and Worcestershire sauce. Stir to combine.

Step 4: Transfer to Baking Dish
Spread the beef and vegetable mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.

Step 5: Make the Creamy Layer
In a medium bowl, whisk together the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, and eggs until the mixture is completely smooth and well combined.

Step 6: Assemble the Casserole
Pour the creamy mixture evenly over the beef and vegetables in the baking dish. Top with the shredded provolone and mozzarella cheeses, spreading them into an even layer.

Step 7: Bake
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly, golden, and lightly browned in spots.

Step 8: Rest and Serve
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the layers to set slightly for cleaner slices. Serve warm on its own, or pair it with a fresh green salad, crusty bread, or toasted hoagie rolls for the full cheesesteak experience.
