Preheat oven to 375°F. In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat. Add 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced, 1 large green bell pepper, thinly sliced, and 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced. Sauté for 7-10 minutes until softened and lightly browned.

Season with salt and black pepper to taste. This forms the creamy base for your Savory Low Carb Philly Cheesesteak Casserole.

Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden brown. Keep an eye on it to prevent over-browning.
