Cheese Steak Hamburger Helper

A perfect blend of cheesy comfort and the bold flavors of a Philly cheesesteak, this homemade Hamburger Helper-style meal delivers weeknight dinner satisfaction in just one pan. Whether you’re a fan of classic cheesesteaks or simply need something warm, creamy, and fast, this recipe ticks every box.

Imagine tender ground beef simmered with onions and bell peppers, seasoned with Worcestershire and paprika, then folded into tender pasta coated in gooey provolone or mozzarella cheese. The result is a dish that combines the heartiness of a cheesesteak sandwich with the ease of a pasta skillet.

It’s also a versatile meal—great as-is, but easy to customize. Want more veggies? Toss in mushrooms. Prefer a little heat? Use pepper jack cheese. It’s the kind of dinner you can make once and tweak forever, always with delicious results.
