Tips

  • Cook the Macaroni first in boiling water then remove some pasta water to use later in the recipe for the cheese sauce.
  • Cook the onions and bell peppers on medium heat in some butter for 5-6 mins till fragrant and soft before adding the beef.
  • You can either remove the veg when cooking the beef or make a well in the middle like shown in the video.
  • Cook the beef on high heat for 8 mins with the spices. Should come out golden brown.
  • Make sure you cook the beef thoroughly before adding the cream cheese and mozzarella.
  • Lower the heat once you start making the cheese sauce.
