Ingredients (Serves 6)
- 1 pound ground beef

Directions
- Cook the Pasta:
- Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Cook the Beef and Vegetables:
- In a skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Once the beef is cooked through, add the diced onion and bell peppers. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Layer the Ingredients in the Crockpot:
- Start by layering half of the cooked pasta in the bottom of the crockpot.
- Add half of the beef and vegetable mixture on top of the pasta. Sprinkle half of the shredded provolone cheese over the beef mixture.
- Repeat the Layers:
- Add the remaining pasta, followed by the remaining beef and vegetable mixture. Finish by sprinkling the rest of the provolone cheese on top.
- Prepare the Broth Mixture:
- In a small bowl, combine the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Pour this mixture evenly over the layers in the crockpot.
- Cook:
- Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 3-4 hours, until the casserole is hot and creamy, and the cheese is melted.
