Preheat &amp; Prepare:<\/strong><br \/>\nPreheat your oven to\u00a0<strong>375\u00b0F (190\u00b0C)<\/strong>. Lightly grease a\u00a0<strong>9\u00d713-inch<\/strong>\u00a0baking dish and set aside.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Brown the Beef:<\/strong><br \/>\nIn a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the\u00a0<strong>ground beef or shaved steak<\/strong>\u00a0until browned and no longer pink. Drain off any excess fat.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-4\"><\/div>\n<p><strong>3. Saut\u00e9 Vegetables:<\/strong><br \/>\nTo the same skillet, add the\u00a0<strong>onion<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>bell peppers<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>mushrooms<\/strong>, and\u00a0<strong>garlic<\/strong>. Saut\u00e9 for about\u00a0<strong>5\u20136 minutes<\/strong>, until veggies are softened. Stir in\u00a0<strong>salt<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>pepper<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>smoked paprika<\/strong>\u00a0(if using), and\u00a0<strong>Worcestershire sauce<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Layer the Filling:<\/strong><br \/>\nSpread the beef and vegetable mixture evenly in the bottom of your prepared baking dish.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-6\"><\/div>\n<p><strong>5. Mix the Creamy Topping:<\/strong><br \/>\nIn a mixing bowl, beat together the\u00a0<strong>cream cheese<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>mayonnaise<\/strong>, and\u00a0<strong>eggs<\/strong>\u00a0until smooth and fully combined.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. Assemble the Casserole:<\/strong><br \/>\nPour the creamy mixture evenly over the meat and veggies. Sprinkle the top with the\u00a0<strong>provolone<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>mozzarella<\/strong>\u00a0cheese.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7. Bake to Perfection:<\/strong><br \/>\nPlace in the oven and bake for\u00a0<strong>25\u201330 minutes<\/strong>, or until the top is golden and bubbling.<\/p>\n<p><strong>8. Rest &amp; Serve:<\/strong><br \/>\nAllow the casserole to rest for about\u00a0<strong>5 minutes<\/strong>\u00a0before slicing and serving.
