Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks.
Add the sliced onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.
Season with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
In a separate bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, provolone cheese, mozzarella cheese, and heavy cream until smooth.
Add the cheese mixture to the beef and vegetable mixture, stirring well to combine.
Transfer the entire mixture into a greased 9x9 baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and golden on top.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot.

Notes

For extra flavor, sauté mushrooms along with the peppers and onions.

To add some heat, try adding jalapeños or red pepper flakes.

Substitute provolone for other cheeses like cheddar or Swiss for a different flavor.

Ground turkey or chicken can be used for a lighter version.

This recipe can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator before baking.
