Our famous Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes get a makeover in these Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Shells, which combine the meat filling with giant pasta shells and a creamy cheese sauce prepared in the same skillet as the meat filling.
Today’s Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Shells are prepared with ground beef, cheddar, bell peppers, and onions, as well as a creamy sauce to drizzle over the shells after they’re through cooking.
THE INGREDIENTS LIST:
- Lean ground beef; I used 1 Pound.
- 2 Tbsp.Of softened butter.
- A diced yellow onion; I used a small one.
- A diced green bell pepper; use a small one.
- 2 Tbsp.Of ketchup.
- 1 Tbsp.Of Worcestershire sauce.
- 1/2 Tsp.Of Kosher salt.
- 1/2 Tsp.Of ground black pepper.
- Cheddar cheese; I used 8-ounces, and cut it into small cubes.
- Cooked Jumbo pasta shells, I used 24.
- 1 Tbsp.Of cornstarch.
- 210 milliliters.Of whole milk.
- 210 milliliters.Of beef broth.
PREPARATION:
Step 1 – To start the preparation, your oven should be preheated at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Step 2 – Next, brown the ground beef in a big cast iron pan (which browns quite nicely) until a deep brown crust forms before breaking it up.
Step 3 – Stir in the ground beef and brown until a deep crust forms on about 50% of the steak.
Step 4 – After you’ve removed the meat (but don’t throw away any of the fat), add the butter, onions, and bell peppers.
Step 5 – Let it brown for around 2 minutes before stirring, and let it brown for another 2 minutes before stirring.
Step 6 – Return the steak to the pan and stir well. Then, while stirring, add the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper to the pan.
Step 7 – Remove from the heat and spoon the sauce into the pasta shells. Additionally, each shell should be topped with cheese cubes (use half the cheese for this).
Step 8 – Reheat the beef broth, milk, and cornstarch in the same pan over medium heat until the mixture is thickened.
Step 9 – Continue whisking in the remaining cheddar cheese a bit at a time for 3-5 minutes, or until thickened.
Step 10 – Pour roughly half of the sauce into the shells and set them aside. To melt the cheese, place the dish in the oven for 10 minutes.
Step 11 – Finally, drizzle the remaining sauce over the top of each serving.
