• कुल समय: 11 minutes

सामग्री

12 oz pasta (elbow macaroni, rotini, or shells work great)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 pound ground beef

1 small yellow onion, finely diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 teaspoon paprika

1 tablespoon yellow mustard

1/4 cup ketchup

1 (15 oz) can tomato sauce

1/4 cup sour cream

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley or green onions, chopped (for garnish)

निर्देश

Cook the Pasta:

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Brown the Beef:

In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.

Add Aromatics:

Stir in the diced onion and garlic. Cook for 3–4 minutes until softened and fragrant. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika.

Build the Sauce:

Add mustard, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce (if using), and tomato sauce. Stir to combine and let it simmer on low for 5–7 minutes to meld the flavors.

Add Creaminess & Cheese:

Stir in the sour cream and 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheddar. Mix until melted and creamy.

Combine with Pasta:

Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and stir to coat everything evenly in the cheesy, sloppy sauce. If needed, add a splash of water or broth to loosen the sauce.

Top and Serve:

Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese over the top and cover for 2 minutes to melt. Garnish with parsley or green onions and serve hot!
