Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
• 2 bell peppers
• 1/2 yellow onion
• 1 garlic clove
• 1 teaspoon seasoned salt (Lawry’s or Morton’s)
• 4 slices Provolone cheese
• 4 large eggs
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon hot sauce
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Lightly spray a 9×9 baking dish with non-stick spray.
2. Prepare the Vegetables:
   • Dice the bell peppers and onion into bite-sized pieces.
   • Mince the garlic.
3. Cook the Beef:
   • In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, crumbling it as it cooks.
   • When the beef is nearly cooked but still pink, add the peppers, onion, garlic, and seasoned salt.
   • Cook for an additional few minutes, stirring often, until the beef is browned and the vegetables have softened.
4. Drain and Transfer:
   • Drain any excess grease from the skillet.
   • Transfer the beef mixture to the prepared baking dish.
5. Add the Cheese:
   • Tear the Provolone cheese into small pieces and sprinkle over the beef mixture.
   • Add extra cheese if desired.
6. Prepare the Egg Mixture:
   • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, hot sauce, and Worcestershire sauce until fully combined.
7. Assemble the Casserole:
   • Pour the egg mixture over the beef and cheese, then place the dish in the oven.
8. Bake:
   • Bake for 35 minutes, or until the eggs are set.
9. Serve:
   • Let the casserole sit for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Tips for Success:

• Drain the grease well from the beef mixture to keep the casserole from becoming greasy.
• Adjust the amount of hot sauce to your preferred spice level.
• For the best flavor and melt, use freshly grated cheese.

Variations:

• Low-carb Option: Swap out the noodles for cauliflower rice.
• Add More Veggies: Consider adding mushrooms or spinach for an extra layer of flavor.
• Lean Protein Alternative: Use ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version.
