Ingredients
Vegetables
- 1 large green bell pepper
- 1 large yellow bell pepper
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced (about 1/2 cup)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced
Main Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
- 1 1/2 pounds deli-style roast beef, thinly sliced
- 6 slices provolone cheese (about 6 ounces)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Prepare Peppers: Cut the tops off the green, yellow, and red bell peppers, remove ribs and seeds, then thinly slice the peppers. Set aside for cooking.
- Sauté Onions and Garlic: In a large deep-sided ovenproof skillet or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of salted butter over medium-low heat. Add the thinly sliced onion and minced garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant, about 7 minutes.
- Cook Mushrooms and Peppers: Add the thinly sliced cremini mushrooms and prepared bell peppers to the skillet. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their liquid and the peppers are crisp-tender, approximately 10 minutes.
- Preheat Oven: While the vegetables cook, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the casserole.
- Add Roast Beef and Cheese: Stir in the thinly sliced deli-style roast beef with the cooked vegetables in the skillet. Taste the mixture and add salt and pepper if desired. Layer the 6 slices of provolone cheese evenly over the top, followed by sprinkling 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese for a rich cheesy topping.
- Bake and Broil: Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes. After baking, finish the dish under the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes until the cheese is browned, bubbly, and slightly crisped on top. Remove carefully and serve warm.
Notes
- Use an ovenproof skillet or Dutch oven to seamlessly transition from stovetop to oven.
- Thinly slicing the bell peppers and roast beef ensures even cooking and better flavor absorption.
- Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste since roast beef can sometimes be salty.
- For a spicier kick, add sliced jalapeños or drizzle with hot sauce before serving.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
