One-Pan Ground Beef Philly Cheesesteak

Serves: 4 | Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cook Time: 20 minutes

Philly Cheesesteak just got the weeknight treatment! This entire dish comes together in one pan, using ground beef for speed and a secret ingredient (cream cheese!) for ultimate, gooey richness. The Clean Monday Meals Everyday Beef Seasoning is the key to that authentic savory flavor. Lunch or dinner, this is a winner!

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef
• 1 tablespoon Clean Monday Meals Everyday Beef Seasoning
• 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
• 1 large green bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Clean Monday Meals Beef Bouillon
• 1/2 cup hot water
• 4 tablespoons cream cheese, cut into cubes (or dairy-free cream cheese alternative)
• 1 cup shredded provolone or white American cheese (or a dairy-free white shredded cheese/provolone slices)
• 4-6 hoagie rolls or sub rolls (use gluten-free rolls for GF option)

Instructions:

1. Brown the Beef: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and break it up with a spoon. Season the beef with the Everyday Beef Seasoning as it cooks until it is browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat and set the beef aside.
2. Sauté Vegetables: Add the sliced onion and bell pepper to the same skillet. Sauté over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and lightly caramelized. Add the minced garlic (if using) and cook for 1 minute more.
3. Create the Beef Base: In a small cup, whisk the Clean Monday Meals Beef Bouillon into the hot water until dissolved.
4. Combine and Simmer: Add the cooked ground beef back into the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the beef bouillon mixture over the meat and vegetables. Stir everything together and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the liquid to reduce slightly and the flavor to absorb into the beef.
5. Add Cream Cheese: Turn the heat off. Add the cubed cream cheese (or alternative) to the mixture and stir until it is completely melted and the filling is thick and creamy.
6. Assemble Cheesesteak: Divide the filling into 4-6 piles in the skillet. Top each pile generously with the shredded provolone or white cheese. Cover the skillet for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and gooey.
7. Serve: Scoop the cheesy beef mixture onto your favorite hoagie or sub rolls and serve immediately.
