This cheesesteak inspired casserole can be made with cube steak or ground beef.
I’m always looking for ways to use up the cube steak in our freezer, and this Philly Cheesesteak Casserole hits differently. While I really do love chicken fried steak, I like to get a little creative as well. Now, before everyone from Philly comes at me about peppers in my casserole, I’m very aware that peppers are not authentic Philly cuisine.
I’ve also made this casserole with ground beef instead of cube steak, so feel free to substitute that out. If you are interested in seeing a video version of this recipe head over to Instagram to check it out.
This recipe really is super easy to make (which is right up my alley). I made it using one pan and a small 7×9 casserole dish. Served with a side of rice or on a sub roll you have a great way to use up the delicious sauce.
First, slice up the cube steak into thin strips. Season with salt, garlic powder, and pepper and cook in a little oil. Alternatively, you could use ground beef. Once the meat is cooked add to your casserole dish.
Then in the same skillet add in sliced peppers and onions, adding a little more oil if needed. Cook these just until they start to become soft, then add on top of the meat.
Again to the same skillet add in the heavy cream and cream cheese. Cook on medium low until the cream cheese and cream combine. Pour over the meat and peppers. Finally top with provolone cheese. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes or until the cheese starts to brown.
One thing I know for sure is that this casserole is going to be a continued rotation around here and I hope it makes it into your meal rotation as well! Enjoy.
