Ingredients
2 lbs (900 g) ground beef or thinly sliced sirloin 
1 green bell pepper, diced 
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 medium onion, sliced 
8 oz (225 g) mushrooms, sliced 
3 cloves garlic, minced 
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley 
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the ground beef until browned, then drain excess grease if needed.
Add the onion, bell peppers, mushrooms, and garlic. Sauté for 5–7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Reduce the heat to low and mix in the softened cream cheese until fully melted and combined.
Fold in the shredded mozzarella cheese, then transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
Arrange the provolone cheese slices evenly over the top.
Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.

Tips for the Best Philly Cheese Steak Casserole
Thinly sliced sirloin delivers a more traditional Philly cheesesteak texture.
For extra flavor, add sautéed jalapeños or a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes.
Swap provolone with white American cheese or Monterey Jack for a different cheesy twist.
Serve with garlic bread, roasted vegetables, or a crisp green salad.
Leftovers reheat beautifully, making this a great meal-prep option.
