A new macro packed meal prep recipe has arrived thanks to the sponsor of this post, Verde Farms! That recipe? A High Protein Cheesesteak Casserole that’s easy to make with super simple ingredients!

P.S. On the topic of beef, what is your favorite cut? Let me know in the comments below!

Start this one with 1 pound of your choice of protein. I like using either a 93/7 ground beef or some delicious Verde Farms ribeye. If you choose ribeye or similar, make sure cut it up into pieces.

From here, take out a stovetop pan and turn your burner on medium heat.

Add in either a couple tablespoons of butter or your choice oil. I personally prefer butter for this recipe. If you don’t like butter and/or prefer oil, use that!

After that heats up add in 2 teaspoons of minced garlic, your choice protein, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 chopped up onion, and some chopped up bell peppers (choose your favorites).

Pro tip? If you like other vegetables in your cheesesteak, like mushrooms, add those in now!

Keep everything moving as it cooks for around 5-10 minutes depending on the protein you’re using.

Other protein? If you don’t have ground beef or ribeye you can interchangeably use any other cut of beef, ground chicken or turkey, chicken breast, and so on!

Cheesesteak Casserole Pasta

While that’s cooking and if you can afford the carbs, we’re going to make some optional pasta.

To make it, add into a pan 2 cups of broth, 2 cups of water, and 4 servings of pasta. I used small shells but any kind of pasta will work great.

Let your pasta cook for however long your box says to.

Why broth? When cooking your pasta with it it adds flavor and more protein to the recipe!

Cheesesteak Casserole Cheeses

Once your protein looks cooked, turn your stovetop burner on low heat and get ready to add your cheese!

Start by lightly mixing in 8 ounces of cream cheese. You can used full, reduced, or fat free. The nutritional information for all of these variations will be in the recipe card below.

Finish with 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese, and your optionally cooked pasta!

Mix everything around until your cheeses have melted, this should only take a couple minutes.

Take out a casserole or baking dish and add that mix into it.

Top your dish with 6 thin slices of provolone and put it into the oven on 350F/176C for around 15-20 minutes or until it looks like this…

I usually make 6 servings with this one. Don’t forget to store it in the fridge or freeze it!
