1 ¼ cup uncooked pasta shells
2 cups beef broth
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Brown 1 lb ground beef, ½ diced onion, and 2 tsp minced garlic in a large skillet or stock pan until the beef is no longer pink. Drain off any excess grease.

I love using pasta shells for this recipe but rotini or penne pasta would work great in this recipe too!
