Preparation

Step 1

1. In a large skillet brown ground beef over medium high heat. Once cooked, drain any fat that remains.

2. Mix together all of the seasonings in a small bowl. Add to the drained beef, stir to combine. Pour in hot water, milk, and pasta. Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and simmer for 10 - 12 minutes, or until pasta is cooked.

3. Stir in cheddar cheese until melted. Remove from heat, and let stand for a few minute until the sauce thickens.

4. Serve immediately.
