Notes
- Pasta should be just barely al dente to avoid mushiness.
- Provolone melts beautifully but mozzarella or pepper jack also work.
- If mixture looks too thick after cooking, stir in ¼–½ cup extra beef broth.
- For a browned cheesy top, transfer casserole to a baking dish and broil 2–3 minutes.
