Preheat oven to 400 degrees and set a large pot of water on the stove to boil. When boiling, cook pasta according to directions.

In a large skillet add the olive oil and heat to medium high heat. Add steak, onions, and peppers and quickly cook until meat isn't pink. Add 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/2 tsp. garlic powder and 1/4 tsp. pepper to the steak mixture. Add the steak side and stir. Set aside.

In a small sauce pot, add the butter and melt over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour until a roux forms. Cook for 1 minute or until roux is golden brown. Slowly whisk in the milk. Cook over medium heat or until milk starts to bubble and thicken. Once thick, about 5 minutes, add the hot sauce. Whisk to combine.

Off the heat, add 2/3 of the cheese and whisk well.

In a large mixing bowl or your pasta pot, mix together the steak mixture, pasta, and cheese sauce. Stir well and then add additional seasonings to taste. Pour into a casserole dish and top with remaining cheese and the fried onions.

Bake for 10-15 minutes or until bubbling.

Serve immediately.
