Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion finely diced
  • 1 large carrot finely diced
  • 1 lbs lean ground beef 90% lean
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp chili powder
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 10 oz shell noodles or macaroni noodles or bowtie
  • 8 oz tomato sauce
  • 3 cups beef broth
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce 
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • parsley optional, for garnish
  • red pepper flakes optional, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet to medium heat and add oil. Once warmed, add in diced onions and diced carrots (I use my vegetable chopper for even chopping & uniform cooking time).
  2. Stir together and sauté for a few minutes. When onions begin to soften, add the pound of ground beef and seasonings. Cook the meat until 90% done.
  3. Pour in the tomato sauce, beef broth, worcestershire, milk and uncooked pasta with the browned meat mixture. Stir all together and cook for 12-18 minutes until most of the broth has evaporated and noodles are cooked **you still want some broth at the bottom to help the cheese melt and make a creamy, cheesy sauce.
  4. Continue to stir to avoid the shells sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  5. Fold in the cheese (any Schitts Creek references out there?!?) and stir until combined.
  6. Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley and pinch of red pepper flakes if desired. Enjoy!
