Can I use a different type of cheese for the sauce?

Absolutely! While provolone and American cheese provide the authentic Philly cheesesteak flavor, feel free to experiment with your favorite cheese blend. Sharp cheddar, mozzarella, or even pepper jack can add a unique twist to your mac and cheese.

Can I make this dish ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the components ahead of time and assemble the dish when you're ready to bake. Keep the sautéed steak and veggies, cheese sauce, and cooked macaroni separately in the refrigerator until you're ready to indulge.

Can I substitute the ribeye steak with another type of meat?

Certainly! While ribeye steak adds an authentic touch, you can use other cuts like sirloin or even ground beef for a different variation. Vegetarians can opt for meat alternatives or load up on additional veggies for a satisfying meatless version.

Instructions

Boil the elbow macaroni according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, sauté the thinly sliced ribeye steak, green and red bell peppers, and yellow onion until the steak is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
In a separate saucepan, melt butter and whisk in flour to create a roux. Gradually add milk, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens. Add the garlic powder, onion powder, dry mustard, salt and pepper to taste, provolone, and American cheese, stirring until smooth.
Mix the cooked macaroni with the sautéed steak and veggies. Pour the cheese sauce over the mixture and stir until well combined. Transfer everything to a 9X13 baking dish or in individual 6-8 oz ramekins.
In a small bowl, mix breadcrumbs with a tablespoon of melted butter. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the mac and cheese.
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 20-25 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly. If you are using individual ramekins, bake for 15-20 minutes.
Allow it to cool slightly before serving. Dive in and enjoy the perfect fusion of creamy mac and cheese with the savory goodness of ribeye steak, all topped off with a delightful crunch from the breadcrumbs and chopped parsley.

Notes

Feel free to customize the cheese blend according to your preferences.
Experiment with different colors of bell peppers for added visual appeal.
For an extra kick, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the cheese sauce.
