Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients:
- 1 pound lean ground beef (90/10)
- 1 (16 ounces/454 grams) box rotini pasta
- 1 (10.5 ounces/298 grams) can Campbell’s French Onion Soup
Cheese Ingredients:
- 3 cups shredded mozzarella
- 1 (8 ounces/227 grams) package cream cheese, softened
Vegetables and Seasonings:
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced small
- 1 medium green pepper, diced small
- 2 cups mushrooms, diced small (optional)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 tablespoon onion powder
- 1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon celery salt
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire or soy sauce
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large skillet, melt butter and sauté onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms over medium heat until they become tender and caramelized, approximately 10-15 minutes. Enhance the flavor with Worcestershire sauce and preferred seasonings.
- Introduce ground beef to the vegetable mixture, breaking it down into fine crumbles. Cook thoroughly, ensuring no pink remains. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Pour condensed soup into the skillet, creating a rich base. Reduce heat and allow the mixture to simmer gently. Incorporate cubed cream cheese, stirring continuously until it melts completely and forms a smooth, creamy sauce.
- Fold in prepared pasta and freshly chopped parsley, ensuring each strand is evenly coated with the savory sauce.
- Remove skillet from heat and sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the top. For a golden, bubbly finish, transfer to a broiler for 2-3 minutes until cheese becomes melted and slightly crispy.
Notes
- Customize Meat Selection Use lean ground beef or swap with ground turkey for a lighter option.
- Vegetable Flexibility Feel free to adjust vegetable quantities or substitute with seasonal favorites like zucchini or spinach.
- Cheese Variations Experiment with provolone or white cheddar for different flavor profiles while maintaining the classic cheesesteak essence.
- Make-Ahead Magic Prepare the sauce and vegetables in advance, then quickly assemble when ready to serve for a stress-free meal.
