Instructions
Preheat the Traeger Grill

- Add garlic and cook for another minute.
- Move veggies to one side of the skillet, then add the sliced ribeye or ground beef to the other side.
- Season with salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and smoked paprika.
- Cook until the beef is browned and cooked through (5-7 minutes).
- Drain excess grease if necessary, then mix the meat and veggies together.
3. Mix the Casserole Base
- In a large bowl, whisk together cream cheese, heavy cream, and eggs (if using).
- Stir in half of the shredded cheese.
4. Assemble the Casserole
- Transfer the steak and veggie mixture to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Pour the cream cheese mixture evenly over the top.
- Sprinkle with the remaining provolone and mozzarella cheese.
5. Smoke the Casserole
- Place the dish on the Traeger grill and cook at 350°F for 30-40 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.
6. Serve & Enjoy!
- Let it cool for 5 minutes, then slice and serve!
- Pair with toasted hoagie rolls if you want that classic Philly cheesesteak vibe!
Notes
- Eggs are optional but help bind the casserole for a firmer texture.
- Swap provolone for white American cheese for extra creaminess.
- Add sautéed mushrooms for more flavor.
