  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ pounds lean ground beef
  • 2 bell peppers, diced
  • ½ yellow onion, diced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • 4 slices Provolone cheese
  • 4 large eggs
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×9 baking dish with non-stick spray or a touch of oil.
  2. Sauté the Veggies First: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add a small drizzle of oil, then toss in your diced bell peppers and onions. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until just beginning to soften. Stir in minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds. Remove veggies from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Brown the Beef: In the same skillet, crumble in the ground beef and season with the seasoned salt. Cook over medium heat until browned and no longer pink, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain excess grease if necessary.
  4. Combine Beef & Veggies: Return the sautéed veggies to the skillet with the beef. Mix everything together and let it cook for another 2 minutes to blend the flavors.
  5. Layer in the Dish: Spread the beef and veggie mixture evenly into your prepared baking dish. Tear or roughly chop the Provolone slices and scatter them generously over the top.
  6. Make the Egg Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, hot sauce, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth. Pour this mixture evenly over the casserole.
  7. Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 35 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden and slightly puffed.
  8. Let It Rest: Remove from the oven and let it sit for 5 minutes before slicing. This helps everything firm up nicely.
  9. Serve & Enjoy: Slice and serve warm with a side salad or roasted veggies for a satisfying meal.
