Ingredients
  

  • 450 g ButcherBox Ground Beef
  • 75 g onion chopped finely
  • ½ tablespoon minced garlic (2 cloves)
  • 300 g red bell pepper diced
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning low sodium
  • 300 g medium shells pasta (10 oz)
  • 15 g tomato paste
  • 480 ml beef broth
  • 480 ml water
  • 120 g shredded cheddar cheese

Equipment

  • Large Pan or Pot

Method
 

  1. Spray a large pan or pot with olive oil spray. Heat the pan over medium-high heat for 3 minutes.
  2. Add ground beef, onion, garlic and bell peppers in the pan. Cook for 10 minutes or until beef is cooked through and no longer pink.
  3. Add the dry pasta, taco seasoning, tomato paste, broth, and water to the pan. Stir together. Cover the pan and bring to a boil. It should take about 5 minutes to come to a boil.
  4. Once boiling, remove the cover from the pan and reduce the heat to medium. Stir every few minutes for 10-12 minutes or until pasta is cooked and liquid has reduced.
  5. Move the pan off the heat and add in shredded cheese. Stir until combined and melted.

Notes

For a spicier version, consider adding jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
