Philly Cheesesteak Pasta Casserole
This delightful Philly Cheesesteak Pasta Casserole combines the comforting flavors of a classic sandwich in a rich pasta dish, ready in just 30 minutes!
Ingredients
- 1 lb rotini pasta
- 1 lb ground beef 80/20 for richness
- 1 cup yellow onion diced
- 1 cup green pepper diced
- 1 teaspoon garlic chopped
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 8 oz cream cheese cut into cubes
- 1/3 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup jack cheese shredded
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 8 slices provolone cheese
- fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly greasing a 13x9 casserole dish.
- Cook the rotini pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water according to package instructions until just al dente. Drain and set to the side.
- In the same pot, brown the ground beef over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Once it's well cooked, drain the excess fat.
- Toss in the diced onions and peppers, continuing to sauté for an additional 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
- Stir in the garlic, black pepper, and salt, melding the flavors together with a wooden spoon.
- Add the cream cheese and whole milk, whisking until everything is completely melted and mixed. Remove from heat.
- Combine the cooked pasta with the creamy beef mixture. If it feels thick, add a splash of reserved pasta water to ensure it coats every noodle nicely.
- Transfer the pasta mixture into the greased casserole dish, spreading it out evenly before layering the top with provolone cheese.
- Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until hot and bubbly. Finish it off by broiling on low for 2 minutes to achieve that perfect golden cheese.
