Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Vegetables

  • 1 lb ground beef or steak strips
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Dairy and Cheese

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded provolone cheese

Pasta and Liquids

  • 12 oz pasta (penne or rigatoni recommended)
  • 1 cup beef broth

Seasonings and Oils

  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. 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 to keep warm.
  2. Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced green bell pepper, onion, and minced garlic. Sauté for 4-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
  3. Cook the Meat: Add the ground beef or steak strips to the skillet. Cook, breaking up the beef as necessary, until the meat is fully browned and cooked through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Stir the softened cream cheese and beef broth into the skillet with the meat and vegetables. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the cream cheese is fully melted and the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
  5. Top with Cheese and Broil: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing it in the sauce until fully coated. Sprinkle the shredded provolone cheese evenly on top. Place the skillet under a broiler for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown on top.
  6. Serve: Remove the skillet from the oven carefully and serve the pasta hot. Enjoy this rich, cheesy, and flavorful Philly Cheesesteak Pasta immediately for best taste.

Notes

  • Use penne or rigatoni pasta as they hold the cheesy sauce well.
  • For a more authentic Philly cheesesteak flavor, thinly sliced steak strips can be used instead of ground beef.
  • If you don’t have a broiler-safe skillet, transfer the pasta to a baking dish before adding cheese and broiling.
  • Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed after combining all ingredients.
  • The dish is best enjoyed fresh but leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated gently with added broth if the sauce thickens.
