* 1 ½ lbs ground beef (or shaved steak if preferred)

* 2 tbsp olive oil

* 1 medium onion, thinly sliced

* 1 green bell pepper, sliced

* 1 red bell pepper, sliced

* 8 oz mushrooms, sliced (optional)

* 2 cloves garlic, minced

* 1 tsp salt

* ½ tsp black pepper

* 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce (check for keto-friendly brands)

* 4 oz cream cheese, softened

* ½ cup heavy cream

* 1 cup shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese

* 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

1. Preheat oven:

Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

2. Cook the beef:

In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon olive oil.

Add the ground beef (or shaved steak) and cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks.

Drain excess fat if needed and set the cooked beef aside.

3. Sauté the veggies:

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil.

Add the onion, green pepper, red pepper, and mushrooms (if using).

Sauté for about 5–7 minutes, until vegetables are tender.

Add the garlic, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook another 1 minute, stirring well.

4. Combine beef and veggies:

Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir to combine evenly.

5. Make the creamy sauce:

Reduce heat to low and add the cream cheese. Stir until melted and fully incorporated.

Pour in the heavy cream and mix until smooth and creamy.

6. Assemble the casserole:

Transfer the beef mixture to the prepared baking dish.

Top evenly with provolone (or mozzarella) and cheddar cheese.

7. Bake:

Bake uncovered for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden on top.

8. Serve:

Let it cool for 5 minutes, then scoop and serve warm.

Optional: garnish with a sprinkle of parsley or crushed red pepper flakes.
