This Philly Cheesesteak Pasta Skillet is a childhood favorite! Filled with tender pasta, hearty ground beef and cheese in a delicious gravy that’s all made in just ONE PAN!
Ground beef recipes are some of my favorites to make because I can usually find a good deal on hamburger and it cooks super fast, making it perfect for busy weeknights.
Ground Beef Philly Cheesesteak Pasta Skillet:
- Start by browning a pound of ground beef with some onion and bell pepper in a large skillet. Drain any fat and return to stove top.
- Stir in some flour until it’s thickened and then stir in some ketchup and Worcestershire sauce.
- Gradually add in beef broth, milk, salt and pepper to form the gravy.
- Toss in UNCOOKED pasta and bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and cover slightly until pasta is tender.
- Stir in some cheese and dinner is ready!
Homemade Philly Cheesesteak Hamburger Helper
This recipe brings back childhood memories of busy weeknights and my dad fixing us up a pan of hamburger helper after I got home from a long swim practice.
By making this recipe homemade, you don’t have any weird artificial ingredients, just fresh and delicious flavors.
Tips and Variations to Make This Recipe:
This recipe is easily customizable to your family’s preference, here are some easy swaps and variations –
- It’s true, Philly Cheesesteaks don’t usually have bell peppers in them, so you can definitely leave these out if you prefer.
- Use any type of short grain pasta, macaroni, shells, rotini, etc.
- This recipe calls for provolone cheese. I use the deli-sliced cheese and just cut it up so it’s easy!
- Since there is milk in the gravy it has a tendency to boil over if you close the lid. Make sure you leave the lid cracked open slightly when the pasta is cooking.
What To Serve With Philly Cheesesteak Pasta?
You can serve this dish with a simple side salad and some crusty bread or rolls for a complete meal!
