Description
Philly Cheese Beef Skillet is a quick and hearty one-pan meal inspired by the classic Philly cheesesteak. Made with seasoned ground beef, peppers, onions, and melty cheese, it’s a delicious low-carb option or can be served over rice, pasta, or on a hoagie roll.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 cup shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced peppers and onions, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the ground beef. Cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Add the garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika to the beef. Stir well to combine and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
- Return the sautéed peppers and onions to the skillet with the beef. Stir to mix evenly.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top. Cover the skillet with a lid and let sit for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot as-is, or over rice, pasta, or hoagie rolls for a classic Philly-style meal.
Notes
- Swap ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version.
- Feel free to add mushrooms for more flavor and texture.
- This dish is great for meal prep and reheats well for lunches throughout the week.
