Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 1 lb 90% lean ground beef Can substitute with ground turkey or chicken.
  • 6 oz provolone cheese, sliced Substitute with mozzarella for a milder flavor.
  • 4 oz sharp cheddar cheese, shredded or sliced Can use pepper jack for a spicy kick.
  • 2 medium bell peppers, sliced Use various colors for a vibrant dish.
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil For cooking the vegetables.
  • to taste Salt and pepper Adjust according to preference.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with olive oil or non-stick spray.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon until browned and no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Drain excess fat and set beef aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add olive oil. Toss in sliced bell peppers, onions, and minced garlic. Cook until softened and fragrant, about 5-8 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  4. Return the browned beef to the skillet with veggies. Stir to combine and let flavors meld over low heat for 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
Assembly and Baking
  1. Spread half of the beef-veggie mixture evenly in the baking dish. Top with half of the provolone slices, then half the cheddar cheese. Repeat layers with the remaining beef mixture and cheeses.
  2. Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden on top.
  3. Let the casserole cool for 10 minutes before slicing into 5 equal portions to help it set for clean slices.

Notes

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For longer storage, freeze portions for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat before serving.
