Philly Cheesesteak Casserole

Recipe for a Philly Cheesesteak Casserole:

Ingredients:

• 1.5 lbs thinly sliced beef (such as sirloin or ribeye)
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 large onion, thinly sliced
• 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 8 slices provolone cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced beef and cook until browned. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed. Add the sliced onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms. Sauté until the vegetables are softened.
4. Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another minute until fragrant.
5. Return the cooked beef to the skillet and mix well with the vegetables.
6. Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Add dried oregano, thyme, and crushed red pepper flakes if using. Let the mixture simmer for a few minutes until the liquid reduces slightly.
7. Transfer the beef and vegetable mixture to a baking dish.
8. Place slices of provolone cheese on top of the mixture, covering it evenly. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the provolone.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the casserole is heated through.
10. Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
