Cheesesteak Casserole
Sounds really good, I will certainly have to stock up on Provolone cheese next time in Phuket but I will make this before going there and simply use Mozzarella. Link to the shortcut is listed in the Recipe Notes section.
Ingredients
- 750 grams ground beef
- 3 cloves garlic, smashed and minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, OR make from a shortcut
- 2 green bell peppers, chopped
- 2 onions, chopped
- 350 grams Provolone cheese, or Mozzarella, or a bit of both
- 500 grams dry macaroni
- salt and black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180 C. Get out a 9x13 baking dish.
- In a large skillet, brown the ground beef with the garlic, season with salt and pepper as desired, add the Italian seasoning, drain fat off when cooked and remove beef to a bowl.
- Same skillet, cook the peppers and onion until soft. While that is cooking, heat a pot of salted water to boiling then cook the pasta to just tender.
- When the peppers and onions are done, add the ground beef back to the skillet and mix. Tear up the slices of cheese and add to the skillet and let them begin to melt, 2-3 minutes is all that is needed, it's ok if the cheese is not fully melted.
- In a large heatproof mixing bowl, add the ground beef mixture and the drained pasta and mix everything together. Pour this into the baking dish and top with a few slices of Provolone, bake for 15-20 minutes or until the edges are starting to brown and the cheese is melted and starting to brown. Serve.
Notes
The beef will cost about 150 Baht/750 grams. The cheese, Mozzarella, will cost about 250 Baht/350 grams. I cannot price Provolone yet. For 8 servings, this is about $1.47 per serving.
Shortcut: Italian Seasoning, Italian Sausage.
Variant: 1. Use Italian sausage in place of ground beef.
