Ingredients
1 pound uncooked elbow macaroni
2 tablespoons butter
1 pound ground beef
1 medium green pepper, chopped
1 medium sweet red pepper, chopped
1/2 medium onion, chopped
1/4 cup reduced-sodium beef broth
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, cubed
2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon italian seasoning
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
8 slices provolone cheese
Directions
Preheat oven to 375°. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain; set aside.
In a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven, melt butter over medium heat. Add ground beef, peppers and onion; cook until no pink remains and vegetables are tender, 6-7 minutes.
Stir in cooked pasta, broth, cream cheese, cream, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer; cook until slightly thickened, 3-4 minutes.
Place provolone cheese slices in an even layer over macaroni mixture. Bake until cheese is bubbly and golden brown, 15-20 minutes.
