🔥 Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Cook the Pasta Shells
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the jumbo pasta shells according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside. 🍝
3. Prepare the Steak Mixture
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef or sliced steak, along with the diced onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic. Cook until the meat is browned and the vegetables are softened (about 7-8 minutes).
Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly. 🥘
4. Stuff the Shells
Once the steak mixture has cooled a bit, stir in 1 cup of mozzarella, ½ cup of provolone, and the grated Parmesan cheese. Carefully stuff each cooked pasta shell with the cheesy steak mixture. 🌟
5. Assemble the Dish
Spread about ½ cup of marinara sauce on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Place the stuffed shells in the dish, seam side up. Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the shells, then sprinkle the rest of the mozzarella and provolone cheeses on top. 🧀
6. Bake
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. 🧑🍳
7. Serve
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot! These stuffed shells pair perfectly with garlic bread and a side salad for a complete meal. 🌿🥖
