Here’s a delicious and easy Philly Cheesesteak Casserole recipe that captures all the flavors of the classic sandwich without the bread:
Ingredients (serves 4–6)
- 1 lb (450g) beef steak (ribeye or sirloin, thinly sliced)
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional for extra cheesiness)
- 1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
- Optional: Sliced mushrooms, hot sauce, or sliced jalapeños for extra flavor
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish.
- Cook the beef: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced beef and cook until browned. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Cook the veggies: In the same skillet, sauté onions, bell peppers, and garlic until soft and slightly caramelized. Season with salt and pepper.
- Mix the custard base: In a bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, Worcestershire sauce, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Assemble the casserole:
- Layer the cooked beef and veggies in the casserole dish.
- Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese over the top.
- Pour the egg and cream mixture evenly over everything.
- Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
- Bake: Cover with foil and bake for 25–30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
- Serve: Let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Enjoy with a side salad or low-carb bread if desired.
✅ Tips:
- For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of Dijon mustard to the egg mixture.
- Use provolone for authenticity—it melts beautifully and gives that signature Philly cheesesteak taste.
- This dish reheats well and makes great leftovers.
If you want, I can also give you a keto-friendly version that’s extra low-carb but just as cheesy and flavorful.
Do you want me to make that version too?
