Non-vegetarian Easy Kid-friendly Ground Beef Pasta Cheese

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it up into crumbles with a wooden spoon.

  2. Add the diced onion, chopped red bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.

  3. Stir in the diced tomatoes (with their juices), chicken broth, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

  4. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer uncovered for about 15-20 minutes until the flavors meld together and the liquid reduces slightly.

  5. While the mixture is simmering, cook your pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  6. Once the meat and vegetable mixture is ready, stir in the cooked pasta until well combined.

  7. Serve the dish hot, topped with a generous amount of shredded cheese. The cheese will melt into the dish, adding a delicious gooey factor that kids will love!

  8. Optional: Garnish with chopped fresh herbs like parsley or basil for an extra pop of flavor and color.
