Philly Cheesesteak Bake

Introduction

Philly Cheesesteak Bake is a comforting, oven-baked twist on the classic Philadelphia sandwich.
Packed with tender beef, sautéed onions and peppers, and plenty of gooey melted cheese,
this casserole-style dish delivers all the bold, savory flavors of a traditional cheesesteak
without the need for a roll. It’s perfect for busy weeknights, family dinners, or feeding a crowd.

Ingredients

• 1½ pounds thinly sliced beef (ribeye, sirloin, or shaved steak)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 large onion, thinly sliced
• 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 8 oz provolone cheese, sliced or shredded

• Optional: mushrooms, hot peppers, or cream cheese for extra richness

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
3. Add onions and bell peppers; sauté for 4–5 minutes until softened.
4. Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
5. Add beef, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook until beef is just browned.
6. Transfer the beef and vegetable mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
7. Layer provolone cheese over the mixture, then sprinkle with mozzarella.
8. Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Description

This Philly Cheesesteak Bake is rich, cheesy, and full of savory flavor.
Tender beef pairs perfectly with sweet sautéed peppers and onions,
while the melted cheese forms a golden, bubbly topping.
Every bite is hearty, satisfying, and irresistibly comforting.

Tips

• Slightly freeze the beef before slicing for ultra-thin cuts.
• Use provolone for authentic flavor, but mix in American or cheddar if desired.
• Serve over toasted hoagie rolls, rice, or mashed potatoes.
• Broil for the last 2 minutes for extra browning on top.

Correction (Common Mistakes to Avoid)

• Overcooking the beef: Cook it just until browned to keep it tender.
• Too much liquid: Drain excess moisture from vegetables to avoid sogginess.
• Using low-quality cheese: Freshly shredded cheese melts better than pre-shredded.

Enjoy

Serve your Philly Cheesesteak Bake hot and melty with a fresh salad or roasted vegetables.
Enjoy it as-is or spoon it into a crusty roll for the full cheesesteak experience.
Every cheesy bite is pure comfort—enjoy!
