Ingredients

Meat and Dairy

  • 1 lb Ground Beef
  • 2 tablespoons Butter
  • 2 tablespoons Heavy Cream
  • 6 slices Provolone Cheese

Vegetables

  • 1 Green Pepper, sliced
  • ½ White Onion, sliced

Seasonings and Sauces

  • 1 tablespoon Low Carb Tomato Sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Basil, chopped
  • Salt & Pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the vegetables: Slice the green pepper and half of a white onion into thin strips to ensure even cooking and maintain their texture in the skillet.
  2. Cook the ground beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Drain any excess fat if necessary to keep the dish from being greasy.
  3. Sauté the vegetables: Push the beef to one side of the skillet and add butter to the empty space. Once melted, add the sliced green pepper and onion. Cook until the vegetables are softened but still slightly crisp, about 4-5 minutes.
  4. Combine ingredients and season: Stir the cooked beef and vegetables together. Add the low carb tomato sauce, garlic powder, and chopped fresh basil. Mix well and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Add heavy cream: Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine, allowing it to add richness and help meld the flavors together. Cook for another 2 minutes until the cream is heated through.
  6. Top with provolone cheese: Arrange the slices of provolone cheese evenly over the skillet mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid or aluminum foil and let the cheese melt for about 2-3 minutes until gooey and warm.
  7. Serve: Once the cheese is melted, remove from heat and serve immediately for a comforting, cheesy skillet dish with a Philly flavor profile.

Notes

  • You can substitute the provolone cheese with mozzarella or cheddar if preferred.
  • For a spicier version, add some crushed red pepper flakes when sautéing the vegetables.
  • This dish pairs well with a side salad or low-carb bread to keep it light and balanced.
  • Use fresh garlic instead of garlic powder for a more intense flavor if desired.
  • Ensure not to overcook the vegetables to maintain some crunch and freshness.
