Ingredients

Scale

Pasta

  • 8 oz penne pasta

Meat and Vegetables

  • 1¼ lbs ground beef
  • 10 oz white button mushrooms, sliced (or cremini mushrooms)
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped

Sauce

  • 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed French onion soup
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ cup cold water
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch

Cheese

  • 2 cups shredded provolone and mozzarella cheese

Seasoning

  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F to get it ready for baking the pasta dish.
  2. Cook Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the penne pasta and cook until al dente according to package instructions. Drain the pasta and set aside.
  3. Brown Beef and Vegetables: While the pasta cooks, heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and begin browning. About one-third of the way through cooking, add the sliced mushrooms, chopped onion, and green bell pepper. Continue cooking until the beef is fully browned and the vegetables have softened.
  4. Prepare Sauce: Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in the condensed French onion soup and Worcestershire sauce into the skillet. In a small bowl, whisk together cold water and cornstarch until smooth, then add this mixture into the skillet. Simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens.
  5. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked penne pasta to the skillet. Stir well to evenly coat all the pasta with the beef and vegetable sauce mixture. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  6. Add Cheese and Bake: Sprinkle the shredded provolone and mozzarella cheese evenly over the top. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for approximately 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and lightly browned on top.
  7. Serve: Remove the skillet from the oven carefully. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving warm for a satisfying meal.

Notes

  • If you don’t have an ovenproof skillet, transfer the beef mixture and pasta to a baking dish before adding the cheese and baking.
  • For extra flavor, you can add minced garlic with the vegetables when browning the beef.
  • Feel free to substitute provolone and mozzarella with other cheeses such as cheddar or Monterey Jack.
  • To reduce sodium, look for low-sodium French onion soup or make your own.
  • Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and can be reheated in the oven or microwave.
