1 green bell pepper, chopped

2½ cups spiral pasta
05 -
1½ cups beef broth
06 -
1½ cups whole milk
07 -
8 oz can tomato sauce
08 -
2 tablespoons A1 Steak Sauce
09 -
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
→ Seasonings
10 -
1 teaspoon steak seasoning
11 -
1 teaspoon garlic powder
12 -
1 teaspoon onion powder
13 -
1 teaspoon paprika
14 -
½ teaspoon dried oregano
# Instructions:
01 -
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it up as it cooks. Cook until no longer pink and nicely browned all over.
02 -
Add the chopped onion and green bell pepper to the skillet with the beef. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables start to soften and the onion becomes translucent.
03 -
Drain any excess grease from the skillet. Add the steak seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and oregano. Stir well to coat everything evenly with the seasonings.
04 -
Stir in the beef broth, A1 steak sauce, tomato sauce, milk, and uncooked spiral pasta. Mix everything together well, making sure the pasta is mostly submerged in the liquid.
05 -
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then cover with a lid and reduce heat to low. Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
06 -
Stir in 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese until melted and incorporated. Top with the remaining cup of cheese and cover until melted. Let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving to allow the sauce to thicken.
# Notes:
01 -
The A1 steak sauce gives this dish its authentic cheesesteak flavor profile
02 -
Cook pasta directly in the skillet with the liquid for maximum flavor absorption
03 -
Bell peppers and onions are classic cheesesteak vegetables that add great texture and flavor
04 -
Let the dish rest a few minutes after cooking to allow the sauce to thicken properly
