  • Total Time: 45 mins
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (10 oz) Rotel tomatoes with green chilies, undrained
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 12 oz pasta (penne or rotini recommended)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 green onions, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add the ground beef to the skillet, cooking until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat.
  4. Stir in the can of Rotel tomatoes and cream of mushroom soup into the skillet, mixing well with the beef mixture.
  5. Pour in heavy cream and bring the mixture to a simmer, allowing it to reduce slightly and thicken for about 5 minutes.
  6. Add the shredded cheddar cheese to the skillet, stirring constantly until the cheese has melted and the sauce is creamy.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Add the cooked pasta to the creamy sauce, tossing gently to combine until pasta is evenly coated.
  9. Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions if desired.

Notes

  • For extra heat, consider adding a dash of cayenne pepper or red chili flakes to the sauce.
  • You can substitute turkey or chicken for the ground beef for a lighter option.
  • Use different types of cheese such as Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack for varied flavors.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
