Ingredients
Scale
1 pound ground beef or turkey
1 medium onion, diced
1 medium green bell pepper, diced
1 cup sliced mushrooms
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 cup beef broth
1 cup cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded provolone cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, and sliced mushrooms. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional minute.
Add the ground beef or turkey to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 8-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
Stir in the salt, black pepper, paprika, Italian seasoning, and beef broth. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for 5 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and add the softened cream cheese. Stir until the cream cheese is fully melted and combined with the meat mixture.
Transfer the mixture to a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
Sprinkle the provolone cheese and mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
For added flavor, consider topping the casserole with sliced jalapeños or a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes before baking.
You can also substitute the ground beef with shredded rotisserie chicken for a quicker option.
