Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 Yellow onion, diced
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups Beef broth
- 1 can (14.5 ounces) Diced tomatoes (with juice)
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cups Uncooked elbow pasta
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, breaking it into crumbles. Drain any excess fat.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent and soft.
Transfer the cooked beef mixture to your crock pot.
Add the beef broth, diced tomatoes (with juice), tomato paste, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper to the crock pot. Stir until well combined.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on LOW for 4 hours or HIGH for 2 hours.
After the cooking time is complete, stir the mixture thoroughly and add the uncooked elbow pasta.
Continue cooking on HIGH for an additional 20-25 minutes until the pasta is tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the pasta is cooked, stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and heavy cream until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce becomes creamy.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve hot with a garnish of fresh chopped parsley, if desired.
