Step-by-Step: How to Make Philly Cheesesteak Casserole

Step 1: Sautรฉ the Vegetables
In a large skillet, heat 1
tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced bell peppers and onion.
Cook for 5–6 minutes until soft and slightly caramelized. Remove from the
skillet and set aside.

Step 2: Brown the Beef
Add the remaining olive oil to the
skillet. Toss in the thinly sliced beef and cook until fully browned. Stir in
minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well, then
remove from heat.

Step 3: Prepare the Creamy Cheese Mixture
In a medium bowl, combine softened
cream cheese, sour cream, and half of the shredded cheeses (mozzarella and
provolone/cheddar). Mix until smooth and creamy.

cheese blend. Top with the remaining shredded cheese.
