CHEESY BEEF PASTA SKILLET
Serves 8
Directions
- 1Spread 3 lbs of beef evenly in your pan to get a sear on the bottom.
- 2Cook one box of protein pasta while the ground beef is cooking.
- 3Once the ground beef has color on one side, flip it over.
- 4Add one diced onion.
- 5Once the other side has a sear, break up the ground beef as it cooks.
- 6Just before the ground beef is done, add five teaspoons of minced garlic.
- 7Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
- 8Give that all a good mix as your beef finishes up cooking.
- 9Once the ground beef is done, add one 28 oz jar of crushed tomatoes and one cup of beef broth.
- 10Mix in your crushed tomatoes and beef broth and bring to a low simmer.
- 11Let this simmer for about five to seven minutes until you have a nice thick rich sauce.
- 12Once your sauce is nice and thick, add in your cooked protein pasta.
- 13Mix the pasta well so the noodles get coated in the sauce.
- 14Add one cup of grated parmesan and two cups of part-skim mozzarella.
- 15Reduce your heat; the cheese should melt easily.
- 16Keep mixing until the cheese is all melted and well combined.
- 17Once everything is melted and well combined, divide it up among your meal prep containers.
