Instructions

Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add ground beef, diced onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic. Cook until beef is browned and vegetables are tender. Drain excess fat if needed.
Season with salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and Italian seasoning.
Stir in uncooked pasta, beef broth, and milk. Bring to a gentle simmer.
Cover and cook for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
Remove from heat and stir in shredded cheese until fully melted and creamy.
Serve hot, optionally topped with extra cheese or chopped parsley.

Notes

Swap ground beef for thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin for a more authentic cheesesteak texture.

Add sautéed mushrooms for extra flavor.

Use pepper jack cheese for a spicier version.

Substitute heavy cream for milk for a richer sauce.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3–4 days.

Add a splash of milk or broth when reheating to maintain creaminess.

Freeze for up to 2 months, though texture may slightly change.
