Notes
If your skillet is not oven-proof, transfer the mixture to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish before topping with provolone and baking.
For extra flavor, you can add sliced mushrooms or a dash of Worcestershire sauce to the beef mixture.
Allow the casserole to rest for 5 minutes before serving for easier slicing.
