1. Cook the beef:
In a large skillet or saucepan, cook ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Add the diced onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 2 to 3 minutes.
2. Add sauces and seasonings:
Stir in diced tomatoes, beef broth, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, salt and pepper.
3. Cook the pasta:
Add the raw pasta directly to the pan, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
4. Make it into cheese:
Stir in grated cheddar cheese and heavy cream (if using) until cheese is melted and sauce is creamy.
5. Serve:
Garnish with chopped parsley or green onions for a pop of color and serve immediately.
Tips for success:
Use lean ground beef to avoid excess fat.
For more cheese, mix mozzarella or pepper jack cheese with cheddar.
