Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs ground beef (80/20 fat ratio preferred)

- 2 large bell peppers (green, red, or mixed, diced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened to room temperature)
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- 8 oz provolone cheese (sliced)

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×13 baking dish by spraying it with non-stick spray.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onions and bell peppers and sauté for 5-6 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
- Add ground beef, breaking it apart as it cooks. Season with salt and pepper and cook for about 7-8 minutes until fully browned.
