Preparation
- In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add your gluten-free pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain excess grease if necessary.
- Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
- Stir in the paprika, mustard, and season generously with salt and pepper. Mix well to combine.
- Pour in the beef broth and bring to a simmer. Then, add in the cream cheese, stirring until it melts and the mixture is creamy. Finally, fold in the shredded cheddar cheese until it melts.
- Gently stir in the cooked gluten-free pasta until everything is well combined. Allow it to simmer for another few minutes.
- Remove from heat and serve hot. Top with optional diced tomatoes, pickles, or green onions if desired.
Notes
Ensure you don’t overcook your gluten-free pasta. For a creamier texture, add more cream cheese or use half-and-half instead of broth. Taste as you go to adjust seasonings.
