Notes

For the best flavor, look for well-marbled beef and have your butcher slice it thin. The pepperoni might seem unconventional, but it adds incredible depth to the dish. Fresh-sliced provolone from the deli counter melts better than pre-packaged varieties.
This casserole is versatile - try substituting the provolone with sharp cheddar or pepper jack for a different flavor profile. For a vegetarian version, portobello mushrooms make an excellent meat substitute.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop, adding a fresh slice of cheese if desired.
