Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions, green and red bell peppers, and minced garlic, sautéing for 3-4 minutes.
  2. Add ground beef to the skillet, breaking apart. Cook for 5-7 minutes until browned and no longer pink. Drain excess fat, season with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  3. Transfer beef and sautéed vegetables into the slow cooker, ensuring even distribution.
  4. Stir in uncooked pasta, beef broth, and milk. Mix thoroughly to submerge pasta.
  5. Cut cream cheese into cubes and add to the slow cooker. Stir gently to help it melt.
  6. Cover crockpot and set to cook on LOW for 2.5 to 3 hours. Stir occasionally.
  7. Once pasta is cooked, add provolone or mozzarella cheese. Stir until melted and combined.
  8. Optional: Sprinkle shredded cheddar on top, cover for 3-5 minutes until melted.
  9. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Serve warm from the crockpot.
