A delightful dish that combines the flavors of a cheeseburger with pasta, perfect for a quick weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces pasta (such as penne or rotini)
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup diced onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup diced tomatoes (canned or fresh)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- In a large pot, brown the ground beef over medium heat until fully cooked; drain excess fat.
