Step 1: Sauté the Veggies

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Toss in the onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms (if using). Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes until they’re softened and starting to brown.

Step 2: Cook the Beef

Next, add the ground beef (or sliced steak) to the pan, breaking it up as it cooks. Season it with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to taste. Once the beef is browned, pour in 1 cup of beef broth and let it simmer for a few minutes to combine all the flavors.

Step 3: Layer the Casserole

Grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish, then layer 4 cups of cubed bread (or pasta, depending on your choice) on the bottom. Pour the beef and veggie mixture over the bread, then top with 2 cups of shredded provolone (or mozzarella blend). The cheese will melt beautifully and hold everything together.

Step 4: Bake It

Pop the casserole in the oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden. If you want an extra crispy top, broil it for 2-3 minutes.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

Once the casserole is out of the oven, let it rest for a few minutes to set. Serve it up hot and enjoy! You can garnish with some fresh parsley if you like, but it’s perfect as-is.

Final Thoughts

This Philly Cheesesteak Casserole is a cozy, comforting dish that’s ideal for dinner any night of the week. Whether you stick with traditional beef or mix it up with chicken or another protein, it’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. It’s quick, satisfying, and full of all the rich flavors you love about a Philly cheesesteak minus the sandwich. Give it a try, and you may never return to the original sandwich again!
