Ingredients

  • 1 lb cooked ground beef or shaved steak
  • 1 bell pepper sliced
  • 1/2 yellow onion sliced
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper

  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese blended
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella or provolone shredded
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 oz cream cheese (optional) softened

Instructions

Enable step-by-step mode
  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F and grease a medium casserole dish.
  • (Recommended) Sauté the sliced bell pepper and onion in a skillet for a few minutes until softened.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked beef, bell pepper, onion, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir to combine.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the blended cottage cheese, optional softened cream cheese, and eggs until smooth. Pour into the beef mixture and stir to coat everything evenly.
  • Transfer the mixture to your prepared casserole dish. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top.
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.
  • Let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Blend the cottage cheese until completely smooth so the texture disappears into the casserole.
  • Sautéing the peppers and onions first is optional but recommended for that tender, classic cheesesteak bite.
  • The cream cheese and Worcestershire sauce are easy to adjust. Use a little more cream cheese for extra richness, or skip the Worcestershire if you prefer a milder flavor.
  • Shaved steak or thinly sliced sirloin makes this more traditional, while ground beef is the easy, budget-friendly option.
  • Fridge: store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
  • Freezer: cool completely, wrap tightly, and freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in the microwave or a 350 degree F oven until warmed through.
  • Use freshly shredded cheese for the best melt.
