Ingredients

8 oz elbow macaroni

1 lb ground beef

1 green bell pepper, diced

1 yellow onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 cups beef broth

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 cup shredded provolone cheese

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

3 tablespoons cream cheese

1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add elbow macaroni and cook until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned. Drain excess fat.

3. Add diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 5–6 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic and cook 1 minute more.

4. Pour in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer for 3–4 minutes to blend flavors.

5. Stir in cream cheese until melted and incorporated into the sauce.

6. Add cooked pasta and mix in provolone and mozzarella cheeses until melted and creamy.

7. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with parsley if desired and serve hot.

Notes

Use freshly shredded cheese for a smoother, creamier melt.

Don’t skip draining the beef—removing excess fat keeps the dish light.

Add a splash of cream or milk if you want the pasta extra saucy.
