| Olive oil | 1 tablespoon |
| Onion | 1 large, thinly sliced |
| Green bell pepper | 1, thinly sliced |
| Garlic cloves | 2, minced |
| Ground beef | 1 pound |
| Salt and pepper | To taste |
| Worcestershire sauce | 1 teaspoon |
| Cream cheese | 8 oz, softened |

Instructions:
- Preheat and Grease: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with cooking spray, ensuring an easy release.
- Sauté Vegetables: In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté thinly sliced onions and green bell peppers in olive oil until tender and golden. Add minced garlic, cooking for an additional fragrant minute.
- Cook Ground Beef: Increase the heat to medium-high and add ground beef to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper, cooking until browned and crumbled. Drain excess grease.
- Combine Flavors: Stir in Worcestershire sauce and softened cream cheese until well combined. Pour in beef broth, letting the flavors mingle through a brief simmer.
- Layer Casserole: Spoon the beef mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle shredded provolone and mozzarella evenly over the beef. Cover the casserole with overlapping slices of provolone cheese for that gooey cheese pull.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, witnessing the bubbling cheese developing those irresistible golden-brown spots.
- Let it Rest: Allow the casserole to stand for about 5 minutes before serving – if you can resist the tempting aroma!
