Philly Cheesesteak Casserole

Ingredients:

• 1-2 lbs lean ground beef (90/10)
• 1 red bell pepper thinly sliced
• 1 green bell pepper thinly sliced
• 1 yellow onion thinly sliced
• 3 garlic cloves minced
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1½ tsp dried Italian seasoning
• 1 tsp paprika
• 3-4 cups fresh cauliflower rice
• 8 oz reduced-fat cream cheese
• 6 slices provolone cheese

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F
2. Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-to-medium high heat. Add lean ground beef, bell peppers, onion, and garlic. Cook for 9-10 minutes, breaking up the beef during browning.
3. Reduce the heat to low and stir in salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and paprika.
4. Add cauliflower rice and mix. Then add cream cheese, stirring until fully mixed with the ground beef, cauliflower and pepper mixture.
5. Top with provolone cheese slices. Make sure the casserole is fully covered.
6. Transfer the oven safe skillet to the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly.
7. Remove from the oven. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes:

• Dairy-Free Alternative: Use dairy-free cream cheese and vegan cheese slices.
• Extra Flavor: Add mushrooms or Worcestershire sauce for a more authentic cheesesteak taste.
• Meal Prep Friendly: Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for longer storage.
• Protein Swap: Use ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version.
