Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 pound ground beef

  • ½ yellow or sweet onion, diced

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

  • 1 green bell pepper, diced

  • 8 ounces elbow macaroni, uncooked

  • 1 cup water

  • 14.5 oz can beef broth (or 2 cups beef broth)

  • ½ cup 2% milk

  • 2 ounces cream cheese, cut into small cubes

  • ½ cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

  • 6 to 8 ounces provolone cheese, sliced and torn into pieces

  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the Beef and Onions:
    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and diced onion. Cook until the beef is browned and the onions are soft and translucent. Season with salt and pepper.

  2. Add Key Ingredients:
    Stir in Worcestershire sauce, diced bell pepper, elbow macaroni, water, and beef broth. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Stir occasionally, ensuring the pasta cooks through and most of the liquid is absorbed.

  3. Incorporate Dairy:
    Once the pasta is cooked, add the milk and cream cheese. Stir until the cream cheese melts and blends into a creamy sauce.

  4. Add Cheeses:
    Remove the skillet from heat. Stir in shredded mozzarella and half of the provolone. Mix well to combine. Scatter the remaining provolone on top, cover the skillet, and let the cheese melt.

  5. Garnish and Serve:
    Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve immediately for a creamy, cheesy delight!

Tips:

  • Prep Ahead: Save time by pre-cooking the ground beef. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to a month.

  • Perfect Peppers: Add the bell peppers after the onions are cooked to keep them slightly crisp for a better texture.

  • Flavor Adjustment: If you’re cooking for picky eaters, feel free to skip the Worcestershire sauce for a milder flavor.
