Ingredients
Scale
Meats
- 1½ lb ground beef
Vegetables & Aromatics
- 2 bell peppers, chopped
- ½ onion, chopped
- 2 tsp minced garlic
Seasonings
- 1 tsp seasoned salt
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
Dairy
- 8 slices provolone cheese
- 4 large eggs
- ¼ cup heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Cook Beef: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef until no longer pink, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks to ensure even cooking.
- Sauté Vegetables: Add the chopped bell peppers, onions, minced garlic, and seasoned salt to the browned beef. Sauté for 4–5 minutes until the vegetables are soft and fragrant.
- Assemble Base: Transfer the beef and vegetable mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, creating an even layer as the casserole base.
- Mix Egg Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and Worcestershire sauce until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Pour Egg Mixture: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the beef and vegetables in the baking dish, distributing it to infuse the casserole with creamy texture.
- Add Cheese: Top the casserole with the provolone cheese slices, spreading them to cover the entire surface for a rich, cheesy finish.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the eggs are set, and the cheese is melted and lightly browned on top. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add sliced mushrooms or caramelized onions to the vegetable mixture.
- Substitute provolone with mozzarella or cheddar cheese if desired.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Ensure the eggs are fully cooked before serving to maintain food safety.
- To make individual servings, use a muffin tin with the same ingredients and bake for 20 minutes.
