How to Make Crockpot Philly Cheesesteak Pasta

Here’s What You’ll Need:

1 lb penne pasta
3 cups beef broth
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 lb thinly sliced sirloin or ribeye, cut into pieces
1 green bell pepper, sliced
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 onion, sliced
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup milk
½ cup sour cream
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt & pepper, to taste
Optional: grated parmesan cheese & parsley for garnish

Combine Ingredients:
Add the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, pasta, sliced steak, bell peppers, and onions to your crockpot. Stir to combine.

Add Dairy & Seasonings:
Stir in the milk, mozzarella cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, paprika, and Italian seasoning. Make sure the pasta is mostly submerged in the liquid for even cooking.

Slow Cook:
Cover and cook on LOW for 4–6 hours, checking around the 3–4 hour mark to prevent overcooking. If the pasta absorbs too much liquid, add a splash of beef broth or milk.

Finish & Serve:
Once the pasta is tender and the cheese has melted into a rich, creamy sauce, season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with grated parmesan and fresh parsley, if desired.

Enjoy!
Serve warm and watch it disappear fast!

Helpful Tips for the Perfect Crockpot Pasta

Use the right cut of steak. Sirloin or ribeye gives you that authentic Philly cheesesteak flavor, plus they’re tender and flavorful.
Check the pasta early. Crockpots vary, so start checking around the 3–4 hour mark to avoid mushy noodles.
Stir halfway through. This helps prevent clumping and ensures even cooking.
Get creative with the cheeses. Swap mozzarella for provolone, white cheddar, or even pepper jack for a little kick!

Storage Tips

If you’re lucky enough to have leftovers (trust me, that’s rare in my house!), here’s how to store them:

Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Freezer: Transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container and freeze for up to 2 months.
To Reheat: Warm in the microwave or on the stove with a splash of milk or broth to bring back that creamy texture.

This Crockpot Philly Cheesesteak Pasta is everything you want in a fall recipe — cozy, hearty, and completely stress-free. When the weather cools down (or if you’re like me, and you’re manifesting cooler weather here in the South), this creamy pasta dish feels like a warm hug in a bowl.
