Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces pasta
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 can Rotel tomatoes (diced tomatoes with green chiles)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: Extra shredded cheese, chopped fresh parsley, or crushed red pepper flakes for serving
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart, until browned and no longer pink.
- Carefully tilt the pot and spoon out or pour off any excess grease. Return the pot to medium heat.
- Stir in the Rotel tomatoes and garlic powder. Bring to a gentle simmer.
- Add the pasta to the pot and pour in enough water to just cover the pasta.
- Bring to a boil briefly, then reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
- Stir in the heavy cream and shredded cheese until melted and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve hot.
Notes
For added creaminess, stir in the cream off the heat. Adjust seasoning gradually as Rotel and cheese can add saltiness.
