  • 1/2 tsp sea salt

  • 1.5 cups beef broth low sodium

  • 2 cups milk

  • 3/4 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt

  • 2 TBSP ketchup

  • 16 oz pasta

  • 12 oz shredded cheddar cheese

  • a few dashes of sriracha
  • water quanity will depend on what type of pasta you use

  • 1.5 TBSP garlic powder

  • 1 tsp chili powder

  • 1 tsp cumin

  • 1 tsp paprika

Directions

  1. Heat a large pot on medium heat and add your oil
  2. Once the pot is hot, add the onion and salt and cook until soft and translucent
  3. Add ground beef and spices and cook until done.

  4. Add your broth, ketchup, sriracha, and 1.5 cups of milk. Mix and bring to a boil.
  5. Add your pasta, and enough water to almost fully cover the pasta. Continue to stir the pasta while making sure the pasta on the top gets mixed to the bottom and the pasta on the bottom gets mixed to the top so they all get enough water. You may need to add a little bit of water later on if the water starts to evaporate too much

  7. Mix, serve, and enjoy!
