Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Large skillet

Method
 

  1. Cook the macaroni according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  3. Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth. Bring to a simmer, stirring, until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.

  7. Add the sliced onion and bell pepper to the same skillet. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  8. Add the minced garlic and Worcestershire sauce to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  9. Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir to combine.
  10. Spoon the cheesesteak mixture over the mac and cheese. Serve immediately.

You can add mushrooms to the cheesesteak topping if desired. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
