Ingredients
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 1/4 pounds ground beef
- 8 oz. white button mushrooms, sliced
- 1/3 pound coarsely chopped provolone cheese
- 1 (10.5 oz.) can French onion soup
- 8 oz. penne pasta
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 1 green pepper, chopped
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
Preparation
Start by bringing a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add the penne pasta and cook until al dente. Drain and set aside. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned and crumbly. Remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside on a clean plate. In the same skillet, melt 2 tbsp of butter. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until tender and golden brown. Next, add the chopped green pepper and onion, sautéing until softened. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the Worcestershire sauce and French onion soup. Mix well. In a small bowl, combine 1 tbsp cornstarch with 2 tbsp water to create a slurry. Add the slurry to the skillet and stir until the mixture thickens. Return the cooked ground beef and pasta to the skillet, tossing everything together until well combined. Finally, add the chopped provolone cheese, cover the skillet, and let the cheese melt completely. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot and enjoy this decadent, cheesy masterpiece!
