Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and coat a 9×9-inch baking dish with non-stick spray, ensuring complete coverage.
- Chop bell peppers and onions into uniform, small cubes while finely chopping the garlic for even distribution.
- Heat a skillet over medium flame and cook ground beef, breaking it into small crumbles until fully browned and no pink remains.
- Drain excess fat from the beef, then introduce diced bell peppers, onions, and minced garlic to the skillet, sautéing until vegetables soften and become translucent.
- Season the beef and vegetable mixture with seasoned salt, stirring thoroughly to ensure consistent flavor throughout the mixture.
- Carefully transfer the seasoned beef and vegetable mixture into the prepared baking dish, creating an even base layer.
- Arrange Provolone cheese slices completely covering the beef mixture, allowing for maximum cheese coverage.
- Whisk eggs, heavy cream, hot sauce, and Worcestershire sauce in a separate bowl until the mixture becomes smooth and well-integrated.
- Gently pour the egg mixture over the cheese and beef, ensuring even distribution across the entire casserole.
- Slide the baking dish into the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, watching for a golden, set appearance and bubbling cheese.
- Remove from oven and let the casserole rest for 5-7 minutes to allow settling and easier serving.
- Slice and serve this hearty, cheesy casserole while still warm for optimal flavor and texture.
