Philly Cheesesteak Casserole

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 2 cups pasta (such as penne or rotini)
• 1 large onion, diced
• 1 green bell pepper, diced
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cups milk
• 2 cups shredded provolone cheese
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
3. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
4. Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
5. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper, mixing well to combine. Remove from heat.
6. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour to create a roux and cook for about 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.
7. Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue cooking until the sauce thickens.
8. Stir in the provolone and Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
9. In a large bowl, combine the pasta, beef and vegetable mixture, and cheese sauce. Mix well.
10. Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish and top with mozzarella cheese.
11. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
12. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
