Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups elbow macaroni (or pasta of choice)
- 1 cup ketchup
- 2 cups beef broth
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup crumbled bleu cheese
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Heat a large skillet or sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up into crumbles with a spatula, about 7-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease, if necessary.
Step 2
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and fragrant.
Step 3
Stir in the elbow macaroni, ketchup, beef broth, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet with a lid, and let it simmer for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is cooked and most of the liquid is absorbed.
Step 5
Once the pasta is tender, stir in the heavy cream and unsalted butter. Let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to create a creamy texture.
Step 6
Turn off the heat and carefully fold in the crumbled bleu cheese. Allow the cheese to melt slightly into the dish for a bold, tangy flavor.
Step 7
Taste and adjust seasonings, if needed. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, before serving.
Step 8
Serve hot and enjoy a deliciously unique take on slumgullion with a ketchup and bleu cheese twist!
