Hello everyone. Today I’m going to show you how to make this creamy one pot beef and cheddar ranch pasta. All the flavors and all the ingredients come together in one large skillet or one large pot. Whatever you want to use, but you want to make sure that it is a deep one because we’re cooking the pasta in it also.

Ingredients

• 1 pound of ground beef

Instructions

1. Place a large skillet on medium high heat.
2. Add one pound of ground beef.
3. Start breaking it up.
4. Cook the ground beef until it is nice and brown and no longer pink.
5. Take two small onions or a medium onion or half of a large onion. Take off the ends, peel off that outer layer, and dice it up.
6. Add the onions to the ground beef.
7. Finish cooking up the ground beef, breaking it up into smaller pieces and get those onions nice and soft.
8. Take everything off to the side and get any of the excess fat out of there.
9. Add in one teaspoon of minced garlic.
10. Cook that in there for about one minute. Let it release the flavors.
11. Add in one ounce packet of ranch seasoning dressing and recipe mix. Sprinkle that all on top.
12. Add in two cups of beef broth.

17. Taste it for seasoning.
18. While that’s coming to a boil, add in eight ounces of egg noodles.

20. Try to submerge the noodles as much as you can. Press down.
21. Once it’s boiling, turn down the heat to a medium low.
22. Make sure all the noodles push down into the liquid as much as you can.
23. Place the lid on.
24. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes until pasta is nice and tender and has absorbed the liquid.
25. Use a cheese grater to grate dark cheddar cheese.
26. Rinse green onions, take off the ends, and slice them up.
27. Once pasta is cooked, turn off the burner.
28. Slowly start adding in the cheese, mixing it in.

Cooking Tips

Whatever you want to use, but you want to make sure that it is a deep one because we’re cooking the pasta in it also. Cook the ground beef until it is nice and brown and no longer pink. Make sure everything’s nice and coated, mixed well. Try to submerge the noodles as much as you can. Press down. Every so often, every few minutes, we’re going to lift the lid. We’re going to give it a mix. Make sure nothing’s sticking down to the bottom. Move the pasta around. We’ll do that about two or three times during that 10 to 12 minutes.

Serving Suggestions

Top it with some green onion.

Okay, you guys. Bye.
