I don’t have a video for this recipe.
If I had a photo, I would most certainly use it. That is... unless the photo I have sucks. For now, you'll just have to picture a big heaping helping of
Creamy Ground Beef Pasta

Creamy Ground Beef Pasta

This is not my recipe, but rather the viral version that was flying around the internet. We cooked it side by side with the Spicy Sausage Pasta (my recipe btw) in a friendly competition to see which one we liked better. In the video, you can see I clearly preferred my version. But after we finished, and I had a couple more bites it started to grow on me - though I still like mine better.

Serves 4-6

Ingredients

  • Neutral oil
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 cups tomato sauce
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 5 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
  • 10 ounces pasta of your choice - I used penne
  • Parsley for garnish

Directions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium/high, add beef and cook, breaking it up as you go until no longer pink - remove and set aside
  2. Add the butter, 2 more tablespoon of oil, the onions and cook until softened - when soft add the garlic, basil & paprika – mix well
  3. Sprinkle over the flour stirring well for 1 minute, then add the broth, tomato sauce and cream - mix until smooth and let simmer on low a few minutes to thicken
  4. Then add the cooked beef and cheese, and when the cheese melts, put in the pasta - mix well and serve garnished with parsley
