Nutrition & ingredients

Ingredients

serves 6
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound lean ground beef (I recommend 90/10 or 93/7 so you don't have to drain excess fat)
  • 1 small yellow onion (diced small (white onion may be substituted))
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (or smoked paprika)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (or to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder OR about 2 finely minced garlic cloves
  • 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
  • 8 ounces small-shaped dry uncooked pasta* (See Notes)
  • 2 ½ cups reduced sodium beef broth
  • ½ cup tomato puree
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (honey mustard may be substituted; I don't care for yellow mustard here)
  • 1 heaping cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (and optionally 1/2 cup more for sprinkling on top)
  • ¼ cup sweet pickle relish OR diced sweet gherkins OR 1 teaspoon granulated sugar (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons green onions (sliced thin; optional for garnishing)
