Description
A delicious creamy beef casserole that’s perfect for family dinners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ pounds ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded provolone cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat and Prep: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and set it aside.
- Brown the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until no longer pink. Drain any excess grease and set the beef aside.
- Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced bell pepper, onion, and mushrooms. Sauté until the vegetables are softened and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
- Combine the Base: Return the beef to the skillet. Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir in the cream cheese and sour cream until everything is well combined and creamy.
- Assemble the Casserole: Spoon the beef and veggie mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle provolone and mozzarella cheeses evenly over the top.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly with golden edges. Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- This dish pairs well with a side salad.
