Cheesesteak casserole is a hearty and flavorful dish inspired by the classic Philly cheesesteak sandwich. Here’s a recipe to make it:
Ingredients:
- 1 lb thinly sliced beef (such as ribeye or sirloin)
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 oz cooked pasta (such as penne or rotini)
- 1 cup shredded provolone cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Optional toppings: chopped fresh parsley, sliced green onions, hot sauce
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
- Cook the beef: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced beef to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté the vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the thinly sliced onion, green bell pepper, and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and lightly browned. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Prepare the cheese mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded provolone cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until well combined.
- Assemble the casserole: Spread the cooked pasta evenly in the bottom of the greased baking dish. Top with the cooked beef and sautéed vegetables. Spoon the cheese mixture over the beef and vegetables, spreading it out evenly.
- Bake the casserole: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the casserole is heated through.
- Serve: Remove the cheesesteak casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, sliced green onions, or a drizzle of hot sauce, if desired.
- Enjoy: Serve the cheesesteak casserole hot as a delicious and satisfying meal for lunch or dinner.
