Ingredients

Scale

Beef Mixture

  • 1 pound ground beef (lean or regular)
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Pasta & Sauce

  • 8 ounces bowtie pasta
  • 8 ounces Velveeta cheese, cubed
  • 1 cup milk

Instructions

  1. Cook the Bowtie Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the bowtie pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Brown the Ground Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter then sauté diced onion and minced garlic until soft and fragrant. Add ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon, and cook until fully browned with no pink remaining. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Prepare the Velveeta Cheese Sauce: Reduce heat to low. Add cubed Velveeta cheese and milk to the beef mixture. Stir continuously until the cheese melts completely, forming a smooth, creamy sauce.
  4. Combine and Serve: Add the cooked bowtie pasta to the skillet with the cheese and beef sauce. Toss gently to coat all pasta evenly. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve immediately while warm and creamy.

Notes

  • Cook pasta al dente to prevent mushiness when mixed with the sauce.
  • Use fresh Velveeta cubes for a faster, smoother melt.
  • Keep heat low when melting cheese to avoid separation or toughening.
  • Season the beef and cheese mixture before adding pasta to balance flavors.
  • Add any vegetable or herb mix-ins after sauce preparation to retain freshness and texture.
