Notes
Ground beef is a budget-friendly option, but shaved ribeye can be used for a more traditional Philly cheesesteak flavor. Soften the cream cheese before mixing for the smoothest, creamiest texture. Freshly sliced or shredded provolone melts best and gives the casserole its classic cheesy topping. Let the casserole rest for 5–10 minutes before serving so it's easier to scoop. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with toasted hoagie rolls, garlic bread, or a side salad if desired. 🥩🧀🥘
