Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground beef or shaved steak (ribeye or sirloin)

• 2 tbsp olive oil (if using shaved steak)

• 1 medium onion, thinly sliced

• 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced

• 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

• 1 tsp salt

• ½ tsp black pepper

• ½ tsp smoked paprika (optional)

• 4 oz cream cheese, softened

• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

• 6 slices provolone cheese

• 2 large eggs

• ½ cup heavy cream

• Optional: chopped parsley for garnish

• Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

  2. Cook the meat:

     • If using ground beef, brown it in a large skillet over medium heat.

     • If using shaved steak, heat olive oil in the skillet, then cook until just browned.
       Drain any excess fat.

  3. Sauté veggies: Add onions, bell peppers, and garlic to the pan. Cook for 5–7 minutes, until soft and fragrant.

  4. Combine: Return the meat to the skillet. Add Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Stir in cream cheese until melted and combined.

  5. Layer in dish: Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle mozzarella evenly over the top. Place provolone slices over that to cover.

  6. Whisk topping: In a bowl, beat the eggs with heavy cream. Pour evenly over the casserole.

  7. Bake for 25–30 minutes, until set and golden on top.

  8. Cool slightly, garnish with parsley if using, and serve hot!
