Sauté the Vegetables
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions and bell peppers and sauté for about 5-6 minutes until they soften and become fragrant.
Add Garlic
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for an additional 30 seconds, stirring to prevent burning.
Brown the Beef

- Drain any excess fat if necessary.
Add Worcestershire Sauce
- Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and let it simmer for a few minutes.
Incorporate Cream Cheese
- Reduce the heat to low and stir in the softened cream cheese until melted and creamy.
Transfer to Baking Dish
- Transfer the creamy beef mixture to the sprayed 9x13 baking dish and spread it evenly.
Layer the Cheeses
- Tear the provolone cheese and layer it over the beef mixture. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
Bake the Casserole
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 22-25 minutes, until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden.
Let It Rest
- Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
