Cheesy Sloppy Cheeseburger Pasta

This cheesy, one-pan pasta brings all the flavors of a sloppy cheeseburger into a comforting, easy-to-make dish. Perfect for weeknight dinners!

📋 **Ingredients**

- 1 lb ground beef  

- 1 small onion, diced  

- 2 cloves garlic, minced  

- 1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce  

- 2 cups beef broth  

- 1/4 cup ketchup  

- 1 tbsp yellow mustard  

- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce  

- 1/2 tsp salt  

- 1/4 tsp black pepper  

- 2 cups uncooked pasta (like rotini or penne)  

- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese  

- Fresh parsley or chopped green onions, for garnish  

👩‍🍳 **Directions**

1. **Cook the Beef**: In a large skillet or pot, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned, breaking it up with a spatula. Drain excess fat if necessary.

2. **Sauté the Onion and Garlic**: Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet, and cook for 3-4 minutes, until the onion is softened.

3. **Add the Sauce Ingredients**: Stir in the tomato sauce, beef broth, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

4. **Add the Pasta**: Add the uncooked pasta to the skillet, stirring to coat. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then cover and cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until the pasta is tender, stirring occasionally.

5. **Add the Cheese**: Remove the skillet from heat and stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese until melted and creamy. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese on top, cover for a few minutes to melt.

6. **Serve**: Garnish with fresh parsley or chopped green onions, and serve warm.

💡 **Tips**

- For extra cheesiness, add a bit of cream cheese or extra sharp cheddar.

- Try adding cooked bacon bits for a "bacon cheeseburger" twist.

- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat on the stove with a splash of broth or milk to bring back the creamy texture.
