Ingredients
1 pound ground beef
1 onion, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
2 cups pasta (penne or rotini)
2 cups shredded provolone cheese
1 cup beef broth
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat, then drain any excess fat.
- Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper to the skillet and cook for 5–7 minutes until softened.
- Transfer the beef and vegetable mixture to the crockpot.
- Stir in the pasta, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Cover and cook on low for 3–4 hours, until the pasta is tender.
- Stir in the shredded provolone cheese until melted and creamy.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed, then serve hot.
Notes
Add mushrooms or zucchini for extra vegetables.
Swap provolone with mozzarella, cheddar, or a mix of cheeses for different flavors.
A splash of cream can make it even richer and creamier.
Leftovers keep 3–4 days in the fridge or up to 2 months in the freezer.
Reheat with a splash of broth to maintain creaminess.
Check pasta around the 3-hour mark to avoid overcooking.
