Notes
Prime beef: I like the meatiness of ground chuck, although ground sirloin is also good. It's best to use lean ground beef, so I'd suggest 80/20 or leaner for the tastiest result without too much grease.
Serving ideas: Serve the casserole as it is or over pasta or rice. I like to spoon it into toasted hoagie buns with extra provolone cheese slices melted on top. Mustard and mayo are great condiments for these, and I love some freshly chopped parsley on mine.
No oven-proof skillet? Once you've mixed in the shredded cheese, transfer the meat mixture into an ovenproof dish and spread it out evenly. Add the provolone cheese on top and bake in the preheated oven for 13 to 15 minutes.
