Ingredients You’ll Need:
For the Cheesesteak Skillet:
1 lb (450g) ground beef
1 small onion, diced
1 small green bell pepper, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups beef broth
1 cup milk
2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
For the Three-Cheese Sauce:
1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 cup shredded provolone cheese
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions:
1. Sauté the Base: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until almost browned. Add diced onion, green pepper, and garlic. Cook for 3–4 minutes until vegetables are tender.
2. Simmer & Cook Pasta: Add beef broth, milk, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and uncooked macaroni. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally until pasta is cooked and most of the liquid has absorbed.
3. Make the Cheese Sauce: In a separate saucepan, melt butter and whisk in flour. Cook for 1 minute, then gradually stir in milk (if needed) and all the cheeses. Mix until smooth, creamy, and melty.
4. Combine Everything: Pour the cheese sauce into the skillet and mix well until everything is cheesy and well-coated. Let it simmer for 2 minutes on low to thicken.
5. Serve It Up: Garnish with parsley or an extra sprinkle of shredded cheese. Serve hot and enjoy your homemade hamburger helper that’s better than the box!
