Ingredients
- 1 1/2 - 2 pounds ground beef
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
- 1 white onion diced
- 2 tablespoons butter if using a lean meat
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 8 ounces rotini pasta
- 4 cups beef broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 2 cups cheddar cheese to top
- 4 cups hamburger buns cubed
- 1/2 cup sliced dill pickles chopped, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In an oven-safe enameled cast iron pot, braiser pan, or deep 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat, cook 1 1/2 - 2 pounds ground beef, seasoning with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic. Cook until nearly browned, about 4-5 minutes. Add the diced 1 white onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- If using lean ground beef, add 2 tablespoons butter and let it fully melt. Stir in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Pour in the 8 ounces rotini pasta, 4 cups beef broth, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup ketchup, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, and 2 tablespoons yellow mustard. Stir well and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente and the sauce has thickened.
- Remove from heat and top evenly with 4 cups hamburger buns. Sprinkle with 2 cups cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup sliced dill pickles (if using).
- Transfer to the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the bread cubes are golden brown.
- Remove from oven, let sit for about 5 minutes and enjoy!
