This easy cheesy family favorite is a one-pot meal with tender pasta and ground beef in a rich zesty sauce.
Ingredients :
1 pound lean ground beef 80/20
2 cups beef broth or chicken broth
1 cup milk
1 cup tomato sauce
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon salt
8 ounces medium pasta such as shells or large elbows
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Directions :
In a 12-inch skillet, cook the ground beef over medium high heat until no pink remains while breaking up with a spoon. Drain any fat.
Add 1 ¾ cups beef broth, milk, tomato sauce, onion powder, chili powder, and salt. Bring to a boil.
Add the pasta and cover. Reduce the heat to medium low and let simmer covered, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes. Uncover and cook for an additional 2 to 4 minutes or until the pasta is tender, adding more liquid as needed.
Remove from the heat and rest uncovered for 5 minutes. Add the cheese and stir until melted. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper if desired.
