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, stem and seeds removed, diced
  • 8 ounces elbow macaroni, uncooked
  • 1 cup water
  • 14.5-ounce can of 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

Directions

  1. Cook the Beef:
  • Heat olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat.
  • Add ground beef and onion, cooking until the beef is no longer pink and the onions are soft and translucent. Season with salt and pepper.
  1. Add Ingredients:
  • Stir in Worcestershire sauce, diced green bell pepper, macaroni, water, and beef broth.
  • Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the pasta is cooked and most of the liquid is absorbed.
  1. Incorporate Cheese:
  • Keeping the skillet over low heat, stir in the milk and cream cheese cubes until the cream cheese is fully melted and incorporated.
  1. Melt the Cheese:
  • Remove the skillet from heat. Stir in the shredded mozzarella and half of the torn provolone cheese.
  • Top with the remaining provolone, cover the skillet for a couple of minutes to melt the cheese.
  1. Serve:
  • Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.

Tips:

  • Ground beef can be cooked ahead of time for quicker preparation.
  • Add the peppers later to maintain a slight crispness.
  • Adjust Worcestershire sauce to taste or omit for a milder flavor.

This Philly Cheesesteak Pasta is a hearty and satisfying dish, perfect for adding a warm and comforting touch to your holiday menu. Enjoy this fusion of classic flavors with every creamy, cheesy bite! 🎄🍝🧀✨
