You can enjoy all the delicious flavors in a simple, delicious casserole!

Although it’s been many years since I had a Philly cheesesteak sandwich in my life, they remain one of my favourite comfort foods. These sandwiches are not available in many places on the East Coast. They can also be difficult to prepare if you grill steaks and vegetables. Depending on the steak, they can be quite expensive.

This is where the casserole comes in. This casserole features ground beef, vegetables, and a creamy cheese glaze. It’s like Philly cheesesteak sandwiches but in a casserole!

Serves 6-8
15m prep time
20m cook time

INGREDIENTS

1 1/2 pounds ground beef
2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
2 green peppers chopped
2 onions chopped
12 ounces Velveeta
1 pound of macaroni
Salt & pepper to taste

PREPARATION

Preheat oven to 350°. Grease a 9×13 baking dish and set aside.

Brown ground beef in a skillet, seasoning it with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, paprika, and chili powder. Drain excess fat and set aside.

In a separate, large skillet, saute peppers and onions over medium-high heat until cooked.

While pepper and onions are sauteing, cook the 1 pound of macaroni noodles according to package directions.

Once onions and peppers are done cooking, stir in ground beef mixture. Slice up Velveeta and add to the same skillet, stirring until melted and smooth.

Pour cooked macaroni and pepper/beef mixture in a large bowl, siring just enough to combine.

Place in prepared baking dish and bake for 15-20 minutes.
