Philly Cheese Steak Pasta
Philly cheese steak meets pasta in this delicious, cheesy mashup! It’s easy, hearty, and the ultimate comfort dish.
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds sliced beef steak
- 1 large onion sliced
- 3 garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 bell peppers (sliced)
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- salt and pepper (to taste)
- 8 ounces pasta
- 8 ounces provolone cheese (sliced)
- shredded Parmesan cheese (for garnish)
Substitute Ingredients
No provolone? Swap it with mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or even cheddar for a twist. Don’t have cream of mushroom soup?
Cream of chicken or a homemade roux with beef broth will work wonders. Prefer chicken over beef? Go ahead and use shredded chicken or even ground turkey.
Bell peppers can be replaced with mushrooms, zucchini, or whatever veggies you love!
Instructions
1. Prep the Slow Cooker: Kick off this cheesy adventure by layering the sliced beef, onions, bell peppers, and minced garlic into your slow cooker.
This medley of flavors is the foundation of a dish that’ll have everyone coming back for seconds.
Imagine the aroma building as these fresh ingredients start mingling and getting cozy in the slow cooker. Yum!
2. Add the Flavor: Next, pour in the cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, and a dash of Worcestershire sauce.
These ingredients create a rich and savory base that’s packed with depth.
Don’t forget to sprinkle in a good pinch of salt and pepper – seasoning is key! Mix it all up like you’re a culinary maestro conducting a symphony of flavor.
3. Let it Cook: Pop the lid on the slow cooker and let it work its magic. Cook on low for 6-7 hours, giving the beef plenty of time to tenderize and absorb all the savory goodness.
In a hurry? Set it on high for 3-4 hours instead. Either way, the result will be a perfectly tender beef and veggie combo that’s the ultimate comfort food.
4. Cook the Pasta: When your slow cooker is nearing the finish line, it’s time to prepare the pasta. Boil it according to the package instructions until it’s al dente – tender but with a slight bite.
Once drained, set it aside and get ready for the grand finale. This pasta is about to be the perfect partner for your slow-cooked masterpiece.
5. Bring it Together: Now comes the best part! Stir the cooked pasta into the slow cooker, ensuring every piece is coated in that rich, cheesy sauce.
For the ultimate cheesy finish, lay slices of provolone cheese on top, cover, and let it cook for 10 more minutes.
The cheese will melt into gooey, bubbly perfection, making the whole dish irresistible.
Lay slices of provolone cheese on top, cover it up, and let it cook for another 10 minutes until the cheese melts and gets all bubbly and irresistible.
6. Serve it Up: Finish your masterpiece with a flourish by sprinkling shredded Parmesan over the top. Serve it hot and watch as your guests (or your family) dive into this hearty, cheesy creation.
Each bite is packed with comfort, flavor, and just the right amount of indulgence. Enjoy your Philly steak pasta to the fullest!
