Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 12 ounces pasta elbow or shells
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 can 15 ounces diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings pickles, tomatoes, lettuce

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat until it's no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.
  3. Add diced onions and minced garlic to the skillet, and sauté for another 3-4 minutes until the onions are translucent.
  4. Stir in the beef broth, diced tomatoes, pasta, mustard, and season with salt and pepper. Mix well.
  5. Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish and cover with foil. Bake for 30 minutes.
  6. Remove the foil, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top, and bake uncovered for another 10-15 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Optional: garnish with pickles and chopped fresh herbs, if desired.
