Ingredients
1lbGround beef
2.5cupsSpiral pasta (uncooked)
1.5cupsBeef broth
1.5cupsMilkWhole or 2% recommended for creaminess
2cupsShredded mozzarella cheeseDivided (1 cup for stirring in, 1 cup for topping)

1mediumGreen bell pepperSeeded and chopped
8ozTomato sauceCan
2tbspA1 Steak Sauce
1tspSteak seasoning
1tspGarlic powder
1tspOnion powder
1tspPaprika
0.5tspOregano
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and use a spatula to break it up as it browns. Cook for 5–7 minutes until no longer pink and starting to brown.
Add the chopped onion and chopped green bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté with the beef for 4–5 minutes until the veggies are softened and fragrant, stirring occasionally.
If there’s excess grease, carefully drain it from the skillet until you have just a little left for flavor. Return skillet to medium heat and sprinkle the steak seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and oregano over the beef mixture. Stir for 30–45 seconds to toast the spices.
Pour in the beef broth, milk, A1 Steak Sauce, and tomato sauce. Stir to combine, then add the uncooked spiral pasta, making sure the noodles are submerged in the liquid.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cover the skillet, reduce heat to low, and let cook for 10–15 minutes. Stir every 3–4 minutes to prevent sticking and to check tenderness.
Stir in 1 cup of shredded mozzarella until fully melted and the sauce is creamy. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella evenly over the top, cover again for 1–2 minutes to let it melt, then remove the lid and serve hot.
Notes
For extra cheesesteak authenticity, add thinly sliced mushrooms when you add the peppers and onions. Use whole milk or add a splash of heavy cream for a richer sauce.
