Ingredients

  • 8 ounces pasta shells
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 onion diced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic minced ( I used a jar that was pre-minced)
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 Can 15 oz tomato sauce
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups beef stock
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • Salt and Pepper for seasoning
  • 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • Start by cooking your pasta as directed on the box.
  • In a skillet begin browning your ground beef. Once close to cooked, add in your garlic, and onions.
  • Once translucent, generally takes a few minutes, add in your flour and Italian seasoning. Stir for one minute.
  • Next add in your tomato sauce followed by your beef broth. Allow this to cook until it begins to thicken.
  • Then toss in your cooked pasta and milk and mix until combined.
  • Last add in your cheese (reserve some for topping) and stir until melted.
  • Serve and enjoy.

Notes

You can use heavy cream in replace of milk for a more creamy base sauce.
