1 pound lean ground beef

Instructies

In a large Dutch oven, brown the ground beef over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat, then add the onions and sauté until they are soft and translucent.

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2-3 minutes until it deepens in color and becomes fragrant.

Add the garlic powder, paprika, Worcestershire sauce, and noodles. Pour in the broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Cook until the broth has reduced and the noodles are tender, about 10-14 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Remove from heat and stir in the cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the pot sit for 5 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken.
