Easy Philly Cheese Steak Casserole Recipe

This delicious Philly Cheese Steak Casserole is like a hug from the inside, taking all your favorite cheesesteak flavors and serving them in a cozy dish. Imagine layers of juicy beef, creamy cheese, and tender veggies bubbling away in the oven while you sip on something non-alcoholic (because we’re keeping it family-friendly here). It’s like a party for your taste buds every time you dig in.

Whether it’s game day or a chill weeknight dinner, this casserole has got your back. It’s the kind of meal that gets everyone excited to gather around the table and share stories—while dreaming about getting seconds (or thirds) before the pan even cools down.

I once made this dish for a rainy Sunday gathering with friends, and let me tell you—the compliments were endless! Everyone loved it so much that I almost didn’t get any leftovers.

Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

• Ground Beef: I recommend using 80/20 ground beef for a juicy flavor without being overly greasy.
• Onion: Sweet onions add depth; sauté until they’re translucent to enhance their natural sweetness.
• Green Bell Pepper: Fresh bell peppers give color and crunch; choose firm ones for the best texture.
• Mushrooms: Sliced mushrooms add an earthy flavor that complements the beef perfectly.
• Garlic: Fresh minced garlic brightens up the dish; use as much as you love!
• Cheese Sauce: A creamy cheese sauce binds everything together; store-bought works fine if you’re short on time.
• Shredded Mozzarella Cheese: Top it off with mozzarella for that gooey finish everyone loves.
• Seasonings: Don’t forget salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning to elevate the flavor profile.

The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.

Let’s Make it together

Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by chopping your onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic too—it’ll fill your kitchen with an irresistible aroma.

Cook the Beef Mixture: In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until cooked through. Drain excess fat. Add onions and bell peppers; cook until softened while stirring occasionally.

Add Mushrooms and Garlic: Toss in sliced mushrooms and minced garlic. Sauté until mushrooms are tender and fragrant—about five minutes should do it.

Combine with Cheese Sauce: Lower the heat and stir in the cheese sauce until everything is well-coated. This will be gooey goodness heaven!

Transfer to Baking Dish and Top with Mozzarella: Pour your cheesy mixture into a greased baking dish. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella evenly across the top—this is where dreams come true!

Bake Until Golden Brown: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake uncovered for about 25-30 minutes until golden brown and bubbly. Trust me; you’ll want to keep an eye on it—your neighbors will start sniffing around!

Now you’ve got yourself a glorious Philly Cheese Steak Casserole that’s sure to impress! Don’t forget to let it cool slightly before diving in—unless you’re feeling brave (and slightly burned).

Enjoy every cheesy bite of this comforting dish!

Perfecting the Cooking Process

Start by browning the beef in a skillet, then mix in your onions and peppers. While that simmers, prepare your baking dish with cheese and bread layers. This sequence ensures everything melds beautifully together.

Add Your Touch

Feel free to swap out ground beef for turkey or chicken if you want a lighter option. Toss in some mushrooms or jalapeños for an extra kick. The beauty of this casserole is its adaptability!

Storing & Reheating

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F until warmed through, about 20 minutes, to keep that cheesy goodness intact.

A few years back, I made this Philly Cheese Steak Casserole for a potluck and watched it disappear within minutes! It was the hit of the party, with requests for the recipe pouring in.
