Ingredients

1 lb ground beef

1/2 onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 1/2 cups beef broth

1 (14 oz) can diced tomatoes

1 tsp dried oregano

1 tsp dried basil

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

8 oz small pasta shells

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

Step 1

In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 2

Add the chopped onion and garlic and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the onion is soft and translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the beef broth, diced tomatoes (including the juice), oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil.

Step 4

Add the pasta shells and stir to combine. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta shells are tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed.

Step 5

Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and fully combined. Serve hot.
