Description
A quick and easy recipe for a cheesy and savory Philly Cheesesteak Pasta that combines ground beef, bell peppers, and creamy cheeses for a delightful meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb ground beef
- ½ yellow or sweet onion (diced)
- Salt and pepper (as needed)
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 green bell pepper (stem and seeds removed, diced)
- 8 oz elbow macaroni (uncooked)
- 1 cup water
- 14.5 oz can beef broth (or 2 cups beef broth)
- ½ cup 2% milk
- 2 oz cream cheese (cut into small cubes)
- ½ cup mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 6 to 8 oz provolone cheese (sliced and torn into pieces)
- Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a 12 inch skillet over medium heat. Brown ground beef and onion in skillet until meat is no longer pink and onions are soft and translucent. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add Worcestershire sauce, green bell pepper, macaroni noodles, water, and beef broth.
- Bring to a boil over high heat. Once water comes to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Check to ensure the pasta has fully cooked and most of the liquid has been absorbed/evaporated.
- Keeping the skillet over low heat, add the ½ cup of milk and cubed cream cheese. Stir until the cream cheese has been incorporated.
- Remove from heat. Sprinkle the mozzarella and half of the provolone cheese into the pan and stir to distribute.
- Top with the remaining provolone cheese. Put the lid back on the skillet for a couple of minutes to melt the cheese.
- Garnish with chopped parsley.
Notes
- Feel free to adjust the cheese quantities to your taste.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge.
- This dish can be made with ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version.
