Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Meat and Vegetables

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2: Combine Ingredients

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until fully combined. Stir in the sautéed vegetables and cooked beef until well mixed.
  2. Gently fold in the provolone cheese, ensuring it’s evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Step 3: Bake the Casserole

  1. Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is firm and the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

  1. Once cooked, remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley before slicing.
  2. Serve hot and enjoy a delightful low-carb meal that satisfies your cheesesteak cravings!
