Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray a 9×13 baking dish with non-stick spray.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then add diced onions and bell peppers, cooking for 5 to 6 minutes until softened and fragrant.
- Add minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds while stirring constantly.
- Add ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up and cooking for 7 to 8 minutes until browned, draining excess fat if necessary.
- Stir in Worcestershire sauce, then reduce heat to low and add softened cream cheese, stirring until melted and creamy.
- Transfer the mixture to the baking dish, layering torn provolone and shredded mozzarella on top.
- Bake for 22 to 25 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly, then let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley if desired.
Notes
- For best results, soften cream cheese before use and avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure proper browning of the beef.
