INSTRUCTIONS:

PREPARATION:

1. Warm your oven up by setting its temperature to 177 degrees C.
2. Arrange a baking dish made of stoneware so you don’t have to oil it or cover it with parchment.
3. It will be best if you choose a rectangular baking dish of 8 inches by 11.5 inches

COOKING:

1. Place a pan on normal to high heat.
2. Saute the mince of beef in the pan.
3. Continuously move it with the spatula till it changes colour.
4. Add pepper and salt to season the beef.
5. After that cook for some additional minutes till the beef is thoroughly cooked.
6. Move it with the spatula at regular intervals.
7. Add onion and bell peppers to the beef in the pan.
8. Next, add garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and smoked paprika.
9. Saute the veggies along with cooked beef for a short while till they become a little soft.
10. Add broth of the chicken and cheese cream to the cooked beef and sauteed veggies.
11. Stir continuously till the cream cheese melts and a smooth mixture appears.

BAKING:

1. Now transfer all the mixture having cooked beef, cream cheese, broth, and sauteed veggies to the baking dish.
2. Arrange the slices of provolone cheese to cover the top of the surface. Place the slices so that they overlap a little bit.
3. Insert in the already-heated oven for the time it takes the cheese to melt

TIPS:

If you don’t have a stoneware baking dish then any other material of baking dish also works. You have to coat the baking dish with oil.

It would be best if you were careful while melting the cream cheese with broth. It can easily boil over or burn. Take it immediately off the stove once the cream cheese melts and stir continuously so it doesn’t get extra dry.

If you want your casserole to be more creamy then use additional cream cheese as per your taste.

Be careful when you are cutting the bell peppers. Slices should not be so thin and small that they remain undiscovered in the casserole. They should also be not too big that they overtake the whole casserole. Try to slice them in similar size so that will ensure even cooking
