2 cups uncooked rotini pasta
2 cups beef broth
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and black pepper to taste
Cheesy Sauce:
1 cup shredded provolone cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1 cup heavy cream (or milk)
Instructions
Brown the Ground Beef:
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.
Sauté the Vegetables:
Add the diced onion and bell peppers to the skillet with the ground beef. Cook for 3–5 minutes until softened. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Assemble in Crockpot:
Transfer the cooked beef and vegetable mixture to your crockpot.
Add the uncooked rotini pasta and beef broth. Stir to combine.
Cook:
Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 3–4 hours or on high for 1.5–2 hours, until the pasta is tender.
Prepare the Cheesy Sauce:
About 15 minutes before serving, stir in the heavy cream (or milk) and half of the shredded cheeses (provolone, mozzarella, and Parmesan). Mix well until the cheese is melted and evenly distributed.
Top with Cheese:
Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of the casserole. Cover and let it cook for another 10–15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
