Philly Cheesesteak Casserole
Who wants a mouthwatering Philly Cheesesteak Casserole, loaded with tender beef, savory onions, peppers, and gooey melted cheese, all baked to perfection? I got you! This easy Philly casserole comes together on the stove-top and gets broiled to cheesy perfection for a dinner that everyone will love.
Listen, I’ve been to Philly, is this the SAME as a Philly cheesesteak? No. Is good enough? YES. Yes. Yes. For people NOT from Philly and not expecting this recipe to be the SAME then you’ll love this casserole.
What you need to make a Philly Cheesesteak Casserole
- vegetable oil
- yellow onion
- green bell peppers, feel free to use any sweet bell peppers
- beef, I used thinly sliced sirloin
- cremini mushrooms
- Worcestershire sauce
- cream cheese
- minced garlic
- salt
- pepper
- sliced provolone cheese
What Kind Of Beef?
For this recipe I used sirloin steak, sliced thinly. You want to start with something tender this isn’t the recipe to use a tough cut of meat. Any chuck, brisket, round steak will be too tough for this recipe. You’re very briefly stir-frying the beef so there’s just no room to fool around with tough meat.
Can you use ground beef? You could, I think it would work out fine. The results would be more like a sloppy philly joe. YUM.
Adapt this recipe!
The best part of this casserole is that it’s adaptable. You can serve it with anything you like or prefer.
Serve over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes. Or go classic and serve it with rolls for sandwiches or just over white bread.
Want it saucier? Add more cream cheese. Add extra provolone if you need it even cheesier. Serve it over grains or a green salad for a unique take.
Take this recipe and make it yours, you won’t be sorry!
Got leftovers?
You’re lucky! Philly cheesesteak casserole makes excellent leftovers. Simply store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat as desired to enjoy.
Use this recipe to meal prep!

Philly Cheesesteak Casserole
Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon oil
- 1 yellow onion sliced
- 2 green bell peppers sliced
- 1 ½ lbs sliced beef sliced to about ⅛ inch thick
- 8 oz. cremini mushrooms sliced
- 2 Tablespoons worcestershire sauce
- 4 oz. cream cheese

- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 8 oz. sliced provolone cheese
Serve With Anyone Of The Following
- mashed potatoes
- pasta
- rice

Instructions
- Add oil to a skillet over medium heat
- Once oil is hot enough to sizzle slightly when a drop of water hits it, add the onions, and stir fry until softened
- Add peppers, and continue stir frying until peppers are beginning to soften as well
- Remove peppers and onions, and add beef (Note: if the skillet is dry after removing onions and peppers, add another tablespoon of oil)
- Stir fry beef until mostly browned, then add mushrooms, and continue cooking until beef is done, and mushroom is softened
- Stir in peppers and onions, worcestershire sauce, garlic, salt, and pepper, until cream cheese is fairly well incorporated. This should just take a bit of stirring as the cream cheese will begin to melt.
