Cheese Steak Hamburger Helper
Prep Time: 5 mins | Cook Time: 20 mins | Servings: 4
📝 Ingredients:
-
1 lb ground beef (or thinly sliced ribeye for authenticity!)
-
1 cup chopped onion
-
1 green bell pepper, diced
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
2 cups beef broth
-
1 cup milk
-
8 oz elbow pasta (or rotini)
-
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
-
1 tsp paprika
-
½ tsp black pepper
-
1½ cups shredded mozzarella (or provolone for that Philly vibe)
-
½ cup grated Parmesan
-
Salt to taste
🔥 Instructions:
-
Brown the Beef: In a large skillet, cook ground beef over medium-high heat until no pink remains. Drain excess fat.
-
Sauté Veggies: Add onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Cook 3-4 mins until softened.
-
Simmer Pasta: Stir in broth, milk, pasta, Worcestershire, paprika, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 12 mins, stirring occasionally.
-
Cheese It Up: Remove from heat. Stir in mozzarella and Parmesan until melted and creamy. Add salt if needed.
-
Serve: Garnish with extra cheese and chopped parsley.
💡 Pro Tips:
-
Steak Upgrade: Swap ground beef for shaved ribeye (cook it first, then set aside and add back with the cheese).
-
Extra Creamy? Add a splash of heavy cream or a spoonful of cream cheese.
-
Spice It: Toss in a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.
This is comfort food at its cheesiest—ready in 30 minutes flat! Pair with garlic bread or a crisp salad. Want a lighter version (like turkey or veggie)? Let me know! 😋🍴
