Philly Cheesesteak Casserole Easy and Flavorful Meal
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 1 bell pepper (green or red), sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cups cooked pasta (penne or rotini)
- 2 cups shredded provolone cheese
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- to taste Salt and pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- for garnish Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until softened.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- In the same skillet, add the ground beef, breaking it up as it cooks. Cook until browned, around 5-6 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, beef broth, dried Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta with the meat and vegetable mixture. Mix well to ensure everything is evenly distributed.
- Transfer the pasta mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Top with shredded provolone cheese, ensuring it's evenly spread across the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
💡 Chef's Notes
Serve hot directly from the baking dish and garnish with additional fresh parsley. For a little extra flair, you can drizzle a balsamic reduction over the casserole before serving.
