A comforting and flavorful pasta dish combining the richness of beef and cheese with a hint of spice.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot before adding ingredients to prevent sticking.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until fragrant.
Stir frequently to avoid burning the garlic.
Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks.
Drain excess fat for a leaner dish.
Stir in the salt, paprika, oregano, pepper, tomato sauce, water, and ketchup.
Mix thoroughly to ensure even seasoning.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
Cover the pot to retain moisture.
Add the pasta and cook until tender, stirring occasionally.
Check the pasta for doneness to avoid overcooking.
Stir in one cup of cheddar cheese until melted.
Ensure the cheese is evenly distributed for a creamy texture.
Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top, cover, and let it melt.
Let the dish rest for a minute before serving to set the cheese.
Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Cheesy Beef Pasta Delight.
Garnish with fresh parsley for added color and flavor.
