Serving Size 4 Servings
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 1 medium yellow onion diced
- 1 green bell pepper diced
- 1 pound lean ground beef (I used 90/10)
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 8 ounces dry rotini pasta (about 2 1/2 cups)
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons yellow mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese shredded
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper and cook until softened.
- Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain excess grease if needed.
- Stir in the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the pasta, beef broth, tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, mustard, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
- Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the pasta is tender, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from heat and stir in the shredded cheese until melted and creamy.
Notes
- Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Freeze: Let the pasta cool completely, then store it in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.
- Reheat: Reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave with a splash of broth or water to loosen the sauce as needed.
- The pasta will continue to absorb sauce as it sits, so you may need to add a little liquid when reheating to bring it back to the right consistency.
