  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1½ cups beef broth
  • 1 15 oz can tomato sauce

  • ¼ cup cream or milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Cook the Beef:

  • In a large skillet, cook ground beef and onion over medium heat until browned. Drain excess grease. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 more minute.

Add Liquids and Pasta:

  • Pour in beef broth, tomato sauce, ketchup, mustard, and uncooked pasta. Stir well. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and cover. Simmer for 10–12 minutes, or until pasta is tender.

Serve:

Customise It:
Add sautéed mushrooms, bell peppers, or even a dash of hot sauce for extra kick.
