Ingredients
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 the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced green bell pepper, onion, and minced garlic. Sauté for 4-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
- Cook the Meat: Add ground beef or steak strips to the skillet. Cook, breaking up the beef as necessary, until browned and fully cooked. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Combine Ingredients: Stir in the softened cream cheese and beef broth. Continue cooking, stirring constantly, until the cream cheese is fully melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Top with Cheese and Broil: Add cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing it in the sauce until fully coated. Sprinkle the shredded provolone cheese evenly on top. Broil in the oven for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve hot. Enjoy this creamy, cheesy, and savory pasta dish immediately!
Notes
- Steak Strips: For a richer flavor, use steak strips instead of ground beef.
- Veggies: Swap the green bell pepper for red or yellow for a slightly sweeter flavor.
- Cheese Options: If you prefer a different cheese, try mozzarella or cheddar for a unique twist.
