Equipment
- 1 Large Pan with Lid
- 1 Knife & Cutting Board
- 1 set of measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- ½ diced onion
- ½ cup diced peppers
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 cups whole milk
- 16 oz gluten-free pasta 3 cups (I recommend Jovial)
- 8 oz can of tomato sauce
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon parsley flakes
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 2 cups mild cheddar cheese shredded
Instructions
- In a large skillet, brown the ground beef and chopped onion and peppers over medium heat until the meat is fully cooked and the onions are soft and translucent.
- Once the beef is browned, add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Season the mixture with salt, pepper, oregano, paprika, and parsley, stirring well to combine.
- Pour in the beef broth, tomato sauce, and milk, then add the gluten-free pasta. Stir everything together to ensure the pasta is evenly distributed.
- Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
- Cover the skillet with a lid and let it cook for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the pasta from sticking to the bottom. (Note: Different gluten-free pastas will absorb more or less liquid. If the dish begins to dry out, add ¼-1/2 cup of water as needed.)
- Once the pasta is tender and cooked through, remove the skillet from the heat. Let it cool slightly, then stir in the cheddar cheese until it’s fully melted and incorporated.
- Cover the skillet again and let it sit off the heat for a few minutes to allow the cheese to melt completely and the flavors to meld together.
