Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 small green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
- 4 large garlic cloves, minced (or 3 teaspoons garlic powder)
- 2 teaspoons beef bouillon powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 2 to 3 cups Pace Picante sauce (I used about half 650 ml jar medium heat)
- 2 1/2 cups full-fat (whole) milk mixed with 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 1/2 cups small cooked pasta of choice
How to Make
-
Step 1: In a Dutch oven or 4-quart saucepan, cook the ground beef with bell pepper until browned (about 12-14 minutes, meat should be well browned). Add in garlic and next 4 spices the last 2 minutes of cooking.
-
Step 2: Add in Picante sauce and milk/cornstarch mixture; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer 1 hour uncovered stirring frequently (the liquid should be reduced by almost half). Mix in 2 cups cheddar cheese and cooked pasta the last 8-10 minutes of cooking time; heat through. Season with more salt and pepper if needed.
