Philly Cheesesteak Casserole

Expert Success Tips for a Flawless Casserole

Following a few simple skillet rules will guarantee your dinner turns out beautifully firm instead of watery.

• Drain the Grease: Aggressively draining the excess grease from the skillet is absolutely mandatory. If you leave liquid fat in the pan, it will mix with the eggs and create a watery, soggy casserole that refuses to set.
• Keep the Crunch: Do not overcook the peppers and onions while they are in the hot skillet. They only need to soften slightly on the stove, as they will finish cooking completely during the forty minutes in the oven.
• Use the Broiler: For perfectly blistered, golden cheese, turn your oven broiler on high during the last two minutes of baking. Watch the glass dish closely so the provolone browns beautifully without burning.

Make-Ahead & Freezing Logic

This hearty beef bake makes fantastic leftovers for a quick, protein-packed lunch the very next day.

Store any completely cooled slices in an airtight container tucked away in the coldest part of your refrigerator for up to four days.

To freeze leftovers successfully, wrap individual, cooled portions tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil.

This prevents freezer burn and stops the delicate dairy custard from separating and becoming grainy over time.

When you are ready to reheat, place the frozen slice in a 350-degree oven until steaming hot.

Avoid the microwave if possible, as aggressive microwaving will cause the trapped grease to pool unappetizingly on your plate.
