Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and red bell pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are soft.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute. Add the ground chuck, black pepper, and the remaining salt. Cook until the meat is browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart as it cooks.
  3. While the beef cooks, boil water in a separate pot and cook the rotini pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  4. Add the chicken broth to the skillet with the meat and vegetables. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  5. Stir in the cooked rotini pasta and half of the provolone and pepper jack cheese. Mix until the pasta is well-coated.
  6. Remove the skillet from heat and top with the remaining cheeses. Cover the skillet for a few minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Notes

For added flavor, sprinkle some Italian seasoning on top before serving. Customize with different veggies or switch meats for a unique taste. Serve with hot sauce on the side for a bit of extra heat.
