Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 8 oz pasta shells small or medium
  • 2 cups beef broth

  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp ketchup

  2. Add pasta, broth, milk, ketchup, mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well.
  3. Bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
