1 teaspoon steak seasoning
05 -
1 teaspoon garlic powder

07 -
1 teaspoon paprika
08 -
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
09 -
2 tablespoons A1 steak sauce
→ Liquid and Pasta
10 -
1 1/2 cups beef broth
11 -
1 1/2 cups whole milk
12 -
8 oz can tomato sauce
13 -
2 1/2 cups uncooked spiral pasta
→ Cheese Topping
14 -
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
# Instructions:
01 -
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Add chopped onion and green bell pepper, cooking until vegetables are softened and beef is no longer pink.
02 -
Drain excess grease from the skillet. Add steak seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and oregano. Stir to coat the meat and vegetables with spices.
03 -
Pour in beef broth, A1 steak sauce, tomato sauce, and milk. Add the uncooked spiral pasta directly to the skillet. The pasta will cook in the liquid, so don't pre-cook it.
04 -
Stir everything well and bring to a simmer. Cover with a lid and reduce heat to low. Cook covered for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender and liquid is mostly absorbed.
05 -
Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese until melted and incorporated throughout the mixture.
06 -
Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese over the top. Cover with the lid and let sit for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is completely melted.
07 -
Remove lid and serve immediately while hot and cheesy. The pasta should be tender and the sauce should be creamy and well-combined.
# Notes:

The pasta cooks directly in the skillet with the other ingredients
