PREP TIME: 5 Minutes

COOK TIME: 15 Minutes

TOTAL TIME: 20 Minutes

YIELD: 8 Servings

INGREDIENTS:

1 lb Lean Ground Beef

1/2 tsp Garlic Powder

1/2 tsp Salt

1/2 tsp Onion Powder

16 oz Pasta (I used Ziti)

8 oz Cream Cheese

8 oz Sharp Cheddar Cheese

3/4 cup Milk

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Cook the pasta per package instructions.

2. While pasta is cooking, brown the hamburger meat in a large skillet, breaking it up as it cooks. Once it is done, drain any excess grease and return the meat to the skillet.

3. Add the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and seasonings (garlic powder, salt, and onion powder) to the meat and stir until it is melted and combined.

4. Slowly add the milk while continuously stirring to make a sauce.

5. Add the cooked pasta into the sauce and stir to coat thoroughly. Serve immediately. Enjoy!

RECIPE NOTES:

* IF you like your pasta "saucier" you can either use less pasta or double the ingredients for the sauce.
