Ingredients

  • 12 ounces pasta shells
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup evaporated milk
  • 2 cups grated mild cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup grated provolone cheese {or rip sliced provolone into small pieces}
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter divided
  • ½ pound bottom round cut into small strips
  • 1 yellow onion sliced
  • 2 green bell peppers julianned

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add pasta, and cook until al dente. Reserve 1 cup pasta water; drain and set aside.
  • While pasta cooks, heat 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook beef strips until browned and cooked almost all the way through. Remove beef to a bowl; set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add remaining tablespoon butter. Once butter melts, add sliced onion. Cook until just beginning to brown; reduce heat to medium-low. Cook onions until tender and almost caramelized, about 10 minutes. Add bell pepper; cook for 3 to 5 minutes. Return beef to skillet; cook to heat through.
  • Whisk together eggs, evaporated milk, cheeses, salt, and cayenne pepper in a medium sauce pan. Cook sauce over medium heat, whisking frequently, until cheese melt and sauce thickens.
  • Pour sauce over pasta and stir to combine. Add pasta water until sauce thickens and coat pasta evenly (about ½ to ¾ cup). Top macaroni with beef and vegetables.
