When I mention that I am a brand ambassador for Chuck E. Cheese’s, people often comment on the food. Here’s the scoop:
Two years ago, Chuck E. Cheese’s revamped their menu, and now it’s absolutely fantastic. Their salad bar is exceptional, and their pizza lineup includes amazing specialty pies like the Philly Cheese Steak Pizza with its shaved beef. It’s unbelievably good—I indulged in more than my fair share! Plus, starting at the end of October, they’re bringing back their Mac N Cheese pizza, so you’ll know where to find me in November. #allthedrool
And of course, their pepperoni pizza is a hit. Gavin devoured four slices without hesitation. Fun fact: Chuck E. Cheese’s has outperformed Pizza Hut in blind taste tests twice. Alongside the fresh salad bar and delicious pizzas, they offer fantastic specialty items like wings and pretzel bites. Both are must-tries!

Kitchen Equipment You’ll Need
- 9×9 baking dish
- Non-stick spray
- Skillet
- Mixing bowl
- Whisk
- Knife and cutting board
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
- 2 bell peppers
- 1/2 yellow onion
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 teaspoon seasoned salt (Lawry’s or Morton’s)
- 4 slices Provolone cheese
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9×9 baking dish with non-stick spray.
- Dice the bell peppers and onion into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic.
- Add the ground beef to a skillet and cook over medium heat, crumbling it as it cooks.
- When the beef is broken apart but still pink, add the peppers, onion, garlic, and seasoned salt. Continue cooking, stirring often, until the beef is cooked through and the vegetables have softened slightly.
- Drain the grease from the skillet and pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Tear the cheese into small pieces and scatter over the beef mixture. Feel free to add extra cheese if you like it cheesy!
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, hot sauce, and Worcestershire sauce until well combined.
- Pour the egg mixture over the beef and place the dish in the oven. Bake for 35 minutes or until the eggs are set.
- Let sit for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Tips for Success
- Ensure the beef is well-drained to avoid a greasy casserole.
- Feel free to customize the heat level by adjusting the amount of hot sauce.
- Use freshly grated cheese for the best melt and flavor.
