PHILLY CHEESE STEAK CASSEROLE: A DELICIOUS TWIST
Since I can’t have Chuck E. Cheese’s Philly Cheese Steak pizza every day, I made this Philly Cheese Steak Casserole! It’s got all the delicious flavor of the pizza but loaded into a casserole. This casserole could not be easier, and you start by cooking the noodles in beef stock so that adds a ton of flavor to it right off the bat. You throw some cream cheese in with the ground beef and melt some provolone on top and you get the most dreamy melty delicious casserole. Its the type of casserole that you want to put in a big bowl and curl up in your jammies on the couch and watch a movie. No? Just me?
