Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb Lean ground beef 80/20 or 85/15 preferred
  • 1 large Green bell pepper sliced into strips
  • 1 large Yellow or white onion sliced
  • 8 oz Fresh mushrooms cremini or button, sliced
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil or butter
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper freshly ground
  • 4 slices Provolone cheese or shredded mozzarella

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Spatula
  • Cutting board

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced onions and green bell peppers. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened.
  2. Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until they have browned and released their moisture. Remove the vegetable mixture from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the ground beef over medium-high heat. Break it apart and cook until browned and no pink remains. Drain any excess fat.
  4. Reduce heat to medium. Stir in the minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Return the cooked peppers, onions, and mushrooms to the skillet with the beef. Stir well to combine and heat through.
  6. Smooth the mixture into an even layer in the skillet. Top evenly with slices of Provolone cheese.
  7. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it sit on low heat for 2-3 minutes, just until the cheese is completely melted and bubbly.
  8. Remove from heat, scoop into bowls, and serve immediately hot.

Notes

For a toasted cheese finish, use an oven-safe skillet and place it under the broiler for 1-2 minutes instead of using a lid to melt the cheese. This dish is excellent for meal prep and keeps in the fridge for up to 4 days.
