Absolutely! Philly Cheesesteak Casserole is a cheesy, meaty, and comforting dish that captures all the flavors of a classic Philly cheesesteak sandwich—but baked in a casserole for easy serving. 🥩🧀🌶️
Ingredients (serves 4–6)
- 1 lb thinly sliced beef (ribeye or sirloin works best)
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced (optional)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 tsp smoked paprika or Italian seasoning (optional)
- 6–8 slices provolone cheese (or 1 cup shredded mozzarella/cheddar mix)
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened (optional, for extra creaminess)
- 4–5 slices of bread, cubed (or 2 cups cooked pasta/rice for a twist)
- 1/2 cup beef broth
Instructions
1. Cook the beef and veggies
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sauté onions and bell peppers until soft (5 minutes).
- Add garlic, cook 30 seconds.
- Add beef, season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Cook until beef is just browned. Remove from heat.
2. Assemble the casserole
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, layer cubed bread.
- Spread beef and veggie mixture over the bread.
- Dollop cream cheese (if using) and top with provolone slices or shredded cheese.
- Pour beef broth around the edges to keep casserole moist.
3. Bake
- Bake 20–25 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Optional: broil 1–2 minutes at the end for a golden top.
4. Serve
- Slice into squares and serve hot.
- Pairs well with pickles or a simple side salad.
💡 Tips
- You can swap the bread for French bread chunks or even cooked pasta for a low-maintenance version.
- Add mushrooms or roasted red peppers for extra flavor.
- For a spicier version, add banana peppers or a dash of hot sauce.
I can also give a one-pan skillet Philly Cheesesteak Casserole that cooks entirely on the stovetop—no oven needed, great for quick weeknight dinners.
