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!
