# Ingredients:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 907 grams ground beef
02 - 113 grams cream cheese
03 - ¼ cup chicken bone broth
04 - 2 teaspoons sea salt
05 - ½ teaspoon garlic powder
06 - ½ teaspoon black pepper
07 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
08 - 3 large bell peppers, sliced thinly
09 - ½ tablespoon Italian seasoning
10 - 6 slices provolone cheese
11 - 1 large onion, sliced thinly

# Steps:

01 - Preheat the oven to 177 degrees Celsius. Arrange an 8x11.5-inch stoneware baking dish without oiling or parchment.
02 - Place a pan on medium-high heat and cook the ground beef until browned, seasoning with salt and pepper while stirring occasionally.
03 - Add sliced onion and bell peppers to the browned beef in the pan. Mix in garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and smoked paprika. Saute until the vegetables are tender.
04 - Pour in the chicken bone broth and add cream cheese. Stir continuously over heat until the cream cheese is fully melted and combined into a smooth mixture.
05 - Transfer the beef and vegetable mixture to the prepared baking dish. Layer slices of provolone cheese on top, slightly overlapping.
06 - Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake until the cheese has melted. Optionally, place under a broiler for a few minutes for a crispy cheese layer.
07 - Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.

# Notes and Tips:

01 - If using a non-stoneware dish, coat it with oil to prevent sticking.
02 - Add extra cream cheese to increase creaminess, if desired.
03 - Ensure vegetables are sautéed before baking, as they will not cook fully in the oven alone.
04 - Slice bell peppers into evenly sized pieces for consistent cooking.
