Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef or steak strips
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded provolone cheese
- 12 oz pasta (penne or rigatoni recommended)
- 1 cup beef broth
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Cook Pasta: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Sauté Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced bell pepper, onion, and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Cook Meat: Add the ground beef or steak strips to the skillet. Cook until the meat is browned and fully cooked through.
- Combine Ingredients: Stir in the softened cream cheese and beef broth. Mix well until the cream cheese has melted and the sauce becomes creamy. Add the cooked pasta and stir until the pasta is evenly coated in the sauce.
- Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded provolone cheese on top. Turn the oven to broil, and broil the pasta for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Serve the Philly Cheesesteak Pasta hot and enjoy!
Notes
- Use penne or rigatoni pasta for the best texture, but you can also use other pasta shapes like fusilli or rotini.
- Feel free to use a different cheese such as mozzarella or cheddar, depending on your preference.
- If you want to add more vegetables, mushrooms, or spinach can make great additions.
