Creamy Beef and Shells - Damn Delicious
Ingredients:
| 8 oz medium pasta shells |
| 1 tablespoon olive oil |
| 1 lb ground beef |
| 1/2 medium sweet onion, diced |
| 2 clove garlic, minced |
| 1 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning |
| 2 tbs all-purpose flour |
| 2 c beef stock |
| 1 (15-oz) can tomato sauce |
| 3/4 cup heavy cream |
| kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste |
| 6 oz shredded extra-sharp cheddar cheese, about 1 1/2 cups |
Directions:
In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions; drain well.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes, making sure to crumble the beef as it cooks; drain excess fat. Set aside.
Add onion to the skillet, and cook, stirring frequently, until translucent, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in garlic and Italian seasoning until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Whisk in flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute.
Gradually whisk in beef stock and tomato sauce. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until reduced and slightly thickened, about 6-8 minutes.
Stir in pasta, beef and heavy cream until heated through, about 1-2 minutes; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Stir in cheese until melted, about 2 minutes.
Serve immediately.
