Add 2 minced garlic cloves to the skillet and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
Add 2 pounds of ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up as it cooks for about 7-8 minutes until fully browned.
Mix in 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce and add 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, stirring until melted and creamy.
Evenly spread the meat mixture in the prepared baking dish and layer with 8 ounces of provolone cheese and 1.5 cups of shredded mozzarella.
