Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with olive oil or non-stick spray.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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
- 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.
- Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden on top.
- 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.
