Servings: 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 pounds ground beef {I used 93% lean}
  • 2 teaspoons steak seasoning
  • 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon butter
  • 1 small onion {sliced}
  • 1 small green pepper {sliced}
  • 4 ounces mushrooms {sliced}
  • 1 ½ teaspoons garlic
  • 4 ounces cream cheese
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup pepper jack cheese {shredded}
  • 6 slices provolone cheese
  • 2 cans refrigerated crescent roll dough {8 ounce each}

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.  Spray a 9x13 baking dish with nonstick spray and set aside.
  • In a large skillet, brown ground beef in olive oil.  Once browned, drain any grease from the pan, add steak seasoning and Worcestershire sauce.  Remove mixture from the pan.
  • Add butter to the warm skillet to melt.  Once melted add the sliced onion, peppers and mushrooms to the skillet and cook over medium heat for 3-4 minutes or until the vegetables are softened.
  • Add the garlic, cream cheese and heavy cream to the veggies.  Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes.
  • Return cooked burger to the skillet with the vegetable mixture and sprinkle with shredded cheese.  Stir to combine and pour mixture into prepared 9x13 baking dish.  Add the sliced provolone cheese to the top of the beef mixture.
  • Remove the crescent rolls from the can, but do not unroll them. Using a sharp knife, cut them into ¼“ circle rounds and set aside, cover the top of the casserole with the cut crescent rolls.
  • Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and the casserole is bubbly. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Leftovers keep well refrigerated in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
Instead of ground beef, try using shaved steak or thinly sliced sirloin steak for a more classic Philly cheesesteak texture. Just sauté it quickly before adding to the casserole.
For a low carb casserole, just leave the crescent rolls off! You can always serve hoagie rolls on the side for the carb eaters to stuff with their casserole if they wish.
