This high-protein mac and cheese combines the classic flavors of a Philly cheesesteak with a creamy, cheesy pasta base — boosted with Greek yogurt, lean steak, and protein pasta for a filling, fitness-friendly twist.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 8 oz high-protein pasta (like Banza or Barilla Protein+)

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 lb thinly sliced steak or shaved beef

  • 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced

  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce (optional)

  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.

  2. In a skillet, heat oil and sauté onions and peppers until soft. Add steak, garlic, and seasonings. Cook until just browned. Set aside.

  3. In a saucepan over low heat, stir together yogurt, milk, and cheeses. Stir until melted and smooth.

  4. Mix pasta with cheese sauce. Fold in steak and vegetables. Combine well.

  5. Serve hot with toppings of choice.

Notes

  • Keep heat low when adding yogurt to prevent curdling.

  • Add mushrooms or spinach for more veggies.
