Ingredients
Steps
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add 1 lb of ground beef and the chopped onion to the skillet. Brown the meat until fully cooked through.
Season the meat mixture with salt, pepper, paprika, oregano, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.
Drain any extra grease from the skillet.
Add the minced garlic, 2 1/2 cups of uncooked pasta, 3 cups of beef broth, and the 8 oz can of tomato sauce to the skillet.
Bring the mixture to a quick boil, then immediately turn the heat down to low.
Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for about 10-15 minutes. Stir once or twice during this time to prevent the pasta from sticking to the bottom.
Once the pasta is tender and cooked through, add the 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese and 1/3 cup of milk.
Stir everything together well until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy. Serve immediately.
Notes
A commenter suggested adding Worcestershire sauce for extra flavor. Ensure you use a large enough skillet to accommodate the liquid and pasta expansion.
