Ingredients You Will Need
(full amounts in recipe box below)
- Ground beef
- Butter
- Onion
- Green bell pepper
- Worcestershire sauce
- Ketchup
- Salt
- Pepper
- Jumbo shells
- Cheddar cheese
- Beef broth
- Milk
- Cornstarch
How To Make Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Shells
First, brown the ground beef and remove it from the pan. Melt the butter in the pan, then add the onion and bell pepper and sauté until softened. Add the browned beef back to the pan along with Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, salt, and pepper. Cook this mixture together for just a couple of minutes.
Cook the pasta shells according to the package instructions, then stuff them with the meat filling and place them in a single layer in a glass baking dish.
Stuff each shell with small cubes of the cheese.
In a large pot, whisk together milk, beef broth, and cornstarch and heat over medium heat. Once this mixture is hot, add the rest of the cheese and whisk until melted and combined.
Pour half of the cheese sauce over the stuffed shells. Reserve the rest of the sauce to serve with the shells.
Bake the stuffed shells at 350ºF for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
What Should I Serve with Philly Cheesesteak Pasta?
The stuffed shells themselves are already a very hearty meal, but you will want to add a side dish. Here are a few suggestions:
- Tossed salad
- Fruit salad
- Steamed or oven roasted vegetables
- Fresh Italian bread with butter
Can I Leave Out the Pepper and Onion?
We love the flavor the green bell pepper and onion add to this dish. But for some, they may not enjoy these ingredients. It is totally fine to leave them out, or cook them separately from the meat to just add to some of the stuffed shells.

Loved them husband definitely wants again. He said recipe a keeper.
Thanks Cathy!
Just made these tonight. My son and I loved it.
This was my 1st time making these, instead of cheddar cheese I used Velveeta cheese, they were really cheesy… my boyfriend absolutely loved them.
Very quick and great meal. I ended up running out of cheddar but I had some Basil Borsin to add to make the sauce. Absolutely delicious!
My husband proclaimed this a “make again” receive. Very good. Plan to add mushrooms next time.
I definitely like new recipes in me things and I’m from Philly so I know the feeling of a delicious Philly steak
A twist! With the way the world is right now I could not find jumbo shells. I really wanted to make them so, I used manicotti instead. It worked! I was so excited to make these I also had some mushrooms left in my fridge and added those as well Yummy! I love this recipe.
I had a hard time finding jumbo noddles I considered manicotti noddles but lucked up and found jumbo noddles at target
OMG! I made this for dinner and it was so delicious. It was definitely a favorite in my house. There was nothing left. Now it is asked for a birthday dinner. Thank you for your recipe!!! My teenagers love you for it
Made this tonight and loved it. Will make again.
Just made this tonight for dinner . I used ground chicken breast instead of beef . I also used long hot peppers from my garden in place of bell pepper for a little spice . Family loved the meal and it was easy to make . Will make it into our dinner meal rotation .
