Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Freshly cracked black pepper to taste
  • 15 oz can tomato sauce
  • 3 cups beef broth
  • 1 1/2 cup shell pasta or pasta of your choice
  • 2 cup freshly grated cheddar cheese

Instructions
 

  • Warm a large pot over medium heat and then add in the ground beef and sauté until the beef is cooked. Drain out all the grease.
  • Add in the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, pepper and stir until the beef is coated in the spices.
  • Add in the tomato sauce, beef broth, pasta and stir. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a medium/low and let cook, stirring every couple minutes. Cook until the pasta is cooked and most of the liquid is reduced (some liquid is still good, you don’t want a dry hamburger helper). This could take anywhere from 10-15 minutes depending on the pasta you use.
  • Turn off the heat and add the cheese. Stir until combined.
  • Serve warm! You can store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Enjoy!:)
