1/2 (Diced)
Garlic clove
1 (Mincing)

Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray a 9x9-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
2
Begin by dicing the bell peppers and onion into bite-sized pieces, and mince the garlic clove.
3
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the lean ground beef. Cook, crumbling the beef as it browns, until it is mostly cooked through with some pink remaining.
4
Once the beef is mostly cooked, add the diced bell peppers, onion, minced garlic, and seasoning salt. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the beef is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender.
5
After cooking, drain any excess grease from the skillet and transfer the beef and vegetable mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
6
Tear the provolone cheese slices into smaller pieces and distribute them evenly over the beef mixture.
7
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, hot sauce, and Worcestershire sauce until fully combined.
8
Pour the egg mixture over the beef and cheese layers in the baking dish, making sure it is evenly coated.
9
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 35 minutes, or until the egg is fully set and the top is slightly golden.
10
Once done, remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to sit for 5 minutes before slicing into squares and serving warm.
