Actually, the recipe is the same with any kind of pasta, but noodles add to any dish this amazing touch we love. If you’d like to keep it Keto, then replace the noodles with our Zoodles (zucchini noodles!).
What will we need, then?: Basically, you need the same ingredients as with the Keto Philly cheesesteak casserole from earlier, but adding the noodles and water.
What will we do? You will cook the noodles al dente, following the previous instructions, and add the noodles (or any pasta) with the sauce when it is done. Easy!

First of all, here is what you will need: meat, veggies, oil, seasoning, milk, cheese, cream, lettuce, spinach, lime, and peanuts. Let’s do it!
Instructions:
- Let’s start with the salad. All you have to do is to use a large bowl to mix the lettuce and spinach leaves and add some salt, olive oil, and lime.
- Keep it there until the rest of the meal is done.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Cook the meat, put it in a bowl, and cook the veggies until they are tender.

- Time to put it all together! In the salad bowl, put the cheesesteak and mix it until you feel like it is all combined.

Ingredients
Directions
Let's get into it! Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Set your skillet to heat at medium-high, and when it is hot, add the sliced steak. Be careful not to get burnt! Season it with salt, pepper, and steak seasoning, and cook it for about 3 minutes, making sure you are cooking both sides of the steak.
Add the peppers, mushrooms, onions, and garlic to the skillet. When the vegetables are tender and the steak is no longer pink, you are ready to go.
A piece of advice over here! If you see some water or fat excess, drain it. We do not want a soapy residue!
Lower the heat to low-medium, and add the Worcestershire sauce and the cream cheese. Cook until the cream cheese is melted.
Time to remove the skillet from the heat!
In a bowl, mix the eggs, the Parmesan cheese, and the whipping cream.
Oven time! Take a casserole and spray it with some oil or cooking spray. Now we put the skillet's content into the casserole, and top it with the mixture from the bowl.
Add the provolone slices on top, and bake for about 20 minutes, until the cheese looks crispy and delicious. Yummy!
Take it out, let it cool for a few minutes (we do not want you to get burnt), and enjoy your tasty low-carb meal!
Conclusion
Tips: We are going to give you a few tips, so you can make this dish your own, and have it the way you love it the most: • Even if the steak is the perfect meat for this recipe, you can also use chicken if you feel like it. It will be delicious no matter what! • You can use cheddar, which is the bright orange cheese used in Philly sandwiches instead of Parmesan if you like it better, but the Parmesan has fewer calories and a stronger flavor. It will depend on your taste! • You can keep it for the rest of the week, so you do not have to cook for a while. You can even freeze it! It will be as delicious as the first day!
