Ground Beef
We farm so we have our own beef. While this is a blessing, I tend to get stuck in a dinner rut where I make the same meals over and over again. Since I was tired of the typical ground beef recipes I was making, I started purchasing other meats. Which is silly since the freezer is full of beef. In our home, our typical ground beef recipes include: spaghetti, meatloaf, and burgers. I decided to make a change and try some new flavors so we could continue eating our own meat. Enter: this Creamy Beef And Shells Pasta Recipe.
Ingredients:
- 12 ounces shell pasta (or whatever shape you prefer)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound ground beef
- medium red or sweet yellow onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 4 tablespoons flour
- 3 cups beef stock
- 1 can (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- salt, pepper, onion salt, garlic salt, season salt – to taste
- 8 ounces shredded extra sharp cheddar cheese

A Few Steps In Action
I’m a visual learner. So I like to see some steps in action when I’m making something new. For those of you who are like me, here are a few of the steps.
Adding Olive Oil, Onion, And Garlic To Skillet
Cook for about 2-3 minutes.
Whisking
This step takes a bit as you need to whisk the beef stock, tomato sauce, flour, onion, and garlic. The sauce is very liquid-like at first but reduces a bit and thickens in the process.
Finishing Up
Once the sauce has thickened, you add all the ingredients back to the pot. Heat thoroughly and serve!
This is a delicious meal that pairs well with biscuits and cooked veggies!
Enjoy!
This sounds so good and free from preservatives and bad stuff. I want to make it for the family. Thank you for the recipe.
This looks really tasty. I think the kids will love it and great to make leftovers for a quick lunch the next day
This looks like yummy comfort food that my family would really like!
I made this for dinner but I had to change it a bit because I didn’t have all the ingredients you had. Turned out great. Thanks!
Would love to try this, my daughter just loves pasta!
Good flavors in this dish. More garlic please (not for everyone)
Someone gave me some premade meatballs. I am going to make this using them. Thank you for the idea.
My grandkids would like this meal and so would I. It is a recipe I plan on trying soon.
I like this is easy to make and I can use lots of different types of pasta
This looks so good and really not that hard to make. I don’t know why I never buy this type of pasta but it looks so good in this. Adding it to my buy list.
It’s funny how just changing the type of pasta can bring new life to a dish! My kids request that I use a variety.
My family would definitely enjoy this.
Looks yummy and easy. Perfect! Thanks!
That looks like the ultimate comfort food. I’m bookmarking it for later.
I imagine with the whipping cream in this that it is very rich and creamy and satisfying
This is now a standard go to meal for me. It is so easy and good.
This sounds good and I think my whole family would love it. I am in such a huge meal planning rut right now and have been searching for new meals to add into the rotation. Thank you for sharing.
I like adding the cream to make the dish creamier.
I bet some bread crumb topping on this would make it thanksgiving ready
This looks so yummy and I will have to try out the recipe 🙂
