🍽️ How to Make Cheesy Sloppy Cheeseburger Pasta

1️⃣ Brown the Beef

Heat olive oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain excess grease if needed.

Stir in diced onion and cook for 3–4 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

3️⃣ Build the Sloppy Sauce

Mix in ketchup, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir until the beef is coated in that classic sloppy cheeseburger flavor.

4️⃣ Cook the Pasta

Add uncooked pasta, beef broth, and milk. Stir well, cover, and simmer for 12–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender and sauce thickens.
