Philly cheesesteak casserole combines the flavors of the classic sandwich into an easy-to-make, keto casserole. You won't miss the bun with this recipe! This casserole is made with ground beef, green bell peppers, onions, and topped with provolone cheese. It's sure to be a family favorite!
This cheesy casserole brings together the flavors of Philly… just without the roll.
While traditional Philly cheesesteaks are made with ribeye steak, I used ground beef to keep things simple for this recipe. The ground beef is seasoned to perfection, so it is still full of flavor!
Cheesesteak casserole makes a great dinner that you can have multiple nights since the leftovers heat up well.
Ingredients
When you make this Philly Cheesesteak Casserole, you’ll need:
- Ground beef - I use this instead of shaved steak. You can use your preferred fat content, but I usually go with 85/15 or leaner.
- Worchestershire Sauce - Adds flavor similar to steak and I use it quite a bit!
- Onion and Green Pepper - You can’t have a classic Philly cheesesteak without these low carb veggies.
- Seasonings - You’ll want to use salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder to give the casserole extra flavor.
- Cheese - This recipe uses a combination of provolone and cream cheese.
How to make Philly cheesesteak casserole
Step by step instructions:
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef with the onions and bell peppers. Drain the excess grease from the beef mixture.
- Add the beef mixture back to the skillet, and reduce the heat to medium. Season the mixture with the seasonings, and add in the Worchestershire sauce and cream cheese. Stir everything together until the cream cheese is melted.
- Spread the mixture into an 8x8 casserole dish, and top the casserole evenly with 6 slices of provolone cheese.
- Bake in the oven at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
Recipe Tips and Variations
For some great variations, you can try making the following changes:
- Swap the provolone for American cheese or shredded mozzarella cheese. You could also try using cheese whiz, a traditional Philly cheesesteak add-on.
- Swap the seasonings for a premade steak seasoning blend.
- Add mushrooms, red bell peppers, or even jalapenos to mix things up a bit.
- Sub the ground beef for chicken or steak.

This dish is very flavorful and easy enough for weeknights. My husband and kids enjoyed it on rolls while I stuck to the original casserole form. It's a keeper!
Big Jesse
Yes it is very good!

I have made this quite a few times, but something was missing, I added 1 tablespoon of Dale’s Seasoning to the meat mixture in addition to the Worcestershire sauce and it totally enhances the flavor! Love, love, love this recipe!♥️♥️

I made this recipe with a Colette roast instead of hamburger. I thinly sliced the beef so the chunks of beef were pretty small. It turned out amazing. I skipped the part about putting it in the oven to melt the cheese and put the beef mixture directly on hoagie rolls for my family members and then my special bread for keto and topped it with the cheese. I then put each sandwich in the microwave for 20 seconds to melt the cheese. my husband commented that I need to make sure this recipe is in regular rotation.

I made this just as written but doubled the amount of provalone. Wife and I loved it. Adding it to my regular recipe rotation.
