  • Author: Sophia Turner
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 pound ground beef
– 8 ounces shell pasta
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 2 cups beef broth
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)


Instructions

Creating Creamy Beef And Shells is a simple process. Follow these easy steps for a delicious outcome:

1. Cook Pasta: Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the shell pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. Brown the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Season it with garlic powder and onion powder. Cook until the beef is browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks.

3. Add Broth: Once the beef is browned, add the beef broth to the skillet. Stir well, allowing it to mix with the beef.

4. Stir in Cream: Pour in the heavy cream and stir until everything is well combined. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

5. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked shell pasta to the skillet, tossing it in the creamy beef mixture. Ensure the pasta is well-coated with the sauce.

6. Add Cheese: Stir in the shredded cheese, mixing until melted and creamy. If the mixture seems too thick, you can add a splash more of beef broth or cream to reach your desired consistency.

7. Simmer: Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes to meld the flavors together. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

8. Serve: Once everything is heated through and creamy, remove from heat.
