Steps

1Heat a large braising dish over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the olive oil and then add the diced yellow onion.
2Sauté the onion for 3-5 minutes until tender and then add the ground beef. Brown the beef, breaking it up as it cooks. If there is a lot of excess oil in the skillet, remove it from the pan.
3Next, add the minced garlic, tomato paste, paprika, chili powder, mustard powder, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir until well combined and sauté for a 1-2 minutes.
4Next, add the beef broth, milk, and pasta to the skillet. Stir to combine and bring everything to a simmer. Be careful not to bring the liquid to a rolling boil or the milk will separate.
5Let the pasta cook for 10-12 minutes until it’s tender and a lot, but not all, of the liquid has been absorbed.
6Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the grated cheddar cheese until melted and creamy. The pasta will continue to soak up even more of the sauce as it sits. Give the hamburger helper a taste and season with more salt and pepper to taste.
7Serve with thinly sliced green onion and fresh parsley and enjoy!
