1/4 teaspoon of paprika
11 -
1/2 tablespoon of onion powder

1/2 tablespoon of garlic powder

# Let's Cook:
01 -
Melt butter in a deep skillet over medium heat. Add diced onions, peppers, and mushrooms (if using). Sauté until softened and golden brown, approximately 10-15 minutes. Stir in Worcestershire sauce and cook for another 3 minutes. Season with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and celery salt. Mix well and let cook for an additional minute or two.
02 -
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it into fine crumbles as you cook. Continue cooking until the meat is fully browned. If excess grease appears, drain it off if necessary. Combine the beef with the cooked vegetables, making sure everything is well-mixed.
03 -
Taste the beef and veggie mixture, adjusting the seasonings to your preference. Then, pour in the can of French Onion Soup and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
04 -
Cut the softened cream cheese into small cubes and add them into the skillet. Gently stir and fold the cheese until it is melted and fully combined with the beef mixture, creating a smooth and creamy sauce.
05 -
Add the cooked rotini pasta to the skillet, tossing it well to ensure the sauce coats every piece. Sprinkle dried parsley over the pasta, mix gently, and remove the skillet from heat.
06 -
Immediately stir in two cups of shredded mozzarella. Sprinkle the remaining cup of mozzarella across the top. If your skillet is oven-safe, place it under the broiler to melt and slightly brown the cheese. Let the dish rest for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to settle before serving.
