Ingredients
  

Meat and Vegetables
  • 2 lbs ground beef (80/20 fat ratio preferred)
  • 1 large onion (diced)
  • 2 large bell peppers (green, red, or mixed, diced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
Cheese and Sauces
  • 8 oz cream cheese (softened to room temperature)
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 8 oz provolone cheese (sliced)
  • 1.5 cups mozzarella cheese (shredded)
Cooking Essentials
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray a 9×13 baking dish with non-stick spray.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add diced onions and bell peppers, cooking for 5-6 minutes until they start to soften and become fragrant.
  4. Add minced garlic, cooking for another 30 seconds while stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Cooking
  1. Introduce ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with your spatula as it cooks. Season with salt and pepper, cooking for 7-8 minutes until browned with no pink remaining. If needed, drain excess fat.
  2. Stir in Worcestershire sauce to enhance the flavor of the meat mixture.
  3. Reduce heat to low, then add softened cream cheese, stirring until completely melted and creamy.
  4. Transfer the mixture to your prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  5. Layer torn provolone pieces over the beef, then top with shredded mozzarella.
  6. Bake for 22-25 minutes until the cheese melts, bubbles, and turns lightly golden on top.
  7. Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld together.

Notes

Serve warm with a fresh green salad or your favorite low-carb side. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. For reheating, warm it in the oven or microwave until heated through.
