# Directions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray a 9×13 baking dish with non-stick spray.
02 -
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onions and bell peppers, cooking for 5-6 minutes until softened and fragrant. Add minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
03 -
Add ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks. Season generously with salt and pepper. Cook for 7-8 minutes until completely browned with no pink remaining. Drain excess fat if necessary.
04 -
Stir in Worcestershire sauce, coating the meat mixture for added flavor. Reduce heat to low and mix in the softened cream cheese until completely melted and creamy.
05 -
Transfer the meat mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading evenly. Layer torn provolone cheese over the top, then sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese.
06 -
Bake for 22-25 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden on top. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving to enhance flavor meld.
# Notes:
01 -
Choose high-fat content ground beef for a juicier result.
02 -
Drain any excess oil before baking for a firmer consistency.
03 -
Substitute cheddar cheese for a different flavor profile.
