CHEESESTEAK STUFFED SHELLS

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

  1. Cook Pasta Shells:
    • Boil shells in salted water until just al dente. Drain and lay out on a baking sheet to cool (so they don’t stick).
  2. Prepare the Filling:
    • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
    • Add onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms, sauté until softened.
    • Add ground beef (or steak), cook until browned. Drain excess fat.
    • Stir in garlic, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, salt, and pepper.
    • Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. Make the Cheese Sauce:
    • In a saucepan, melt butter, whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute.
    • Slowly whisk in warm milk, cooking until thickened.
    • Stir in shredded provolone and cheddar until melted and smooth. Season with salt & pepper.
  4. Stuff the Shells:
    • Spoon meat mixture into each shell and arrange in a greased 9×13 baking dish.
  5. Pour & Bake:
    • Pour cheese sauce evenly over the stuffed shells.
    • Cover with foil and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20 minutes.
    • Remove foil and bake another 5–10 minutes until bubbly and golden.

🍽️ Serving Suggestions:

  • Garnish with chopped parsley or green onions.
  • Serve with garlic bread and a crisp green salad.
  • Drizzle with extra cheese sauce before serving for extra creaminess.

Would you like me to give you a creamy Alfredo version of these shells (white sauce instead of classic provolone)? It’s super indulgent and restaurant-worthy!
