Beef and Vegetables
  • 450 g ground beef

  • 100 g mushrooms, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 50 g grated Parmesan cheese divided
  • 10 g fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Equipment

  • Slow Cooker

Method
 

  1. In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain excess fat, then stir in diced onion, green bell pepper, mushrooms, garlic, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
  2. In the slow cooker, combine the cooked beef and vegetable mixture with the uncooked penne pasta and beef broth. Stir well to ensure the pasta is submerged in the liquid.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 4 hours or until the pasta is tender.
  4. Once the pasta is cooked, add the softened cream cheese and stir until well combined and creamy.
  5. Stir in the provolone cheese and half of the Parmesan cheese until melted and incorporated.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with the remaining Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley. Enjoy your delicious Crockpot Philly Cheesesteak Pasta Casserole!

Notes

Consider serving with a side salad or garlic bread for a complete meal. You can substitute ground beef with ground turkey for a leaner version.
