A perfect dish for busy weeknights that brings all the flavors of a classic cheeseburger into a comforting pasta meal!

🍽️ Ingredients 🍽️
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 12 oz rotini or any pasta of choice
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 2 tbsp mustard
- 1 tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 tbsp olive oil (optional, for browning beef)

🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳
1. In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. If using, add olive oil. Add ground beef, diced onion, and minced garlic. Cook until the beef is thoroughly browned and the onions are tender. Drain any excess grease.
3. To the skillet with the beef, add tomato sauce, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir well to combine. Simmer the mixture on low heat for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend together. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the beef sauce. Stir until the pasta is well coated with the sauce.
5. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the pasta. Cover the skillet and let it sit for 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts. For a crispy cheese top, broil briefly.
6. Serve the pasta hot and enjoy the gooey, cheesy goodness!
