One-Pot Beef and Cheddar Ranch Pasta
Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
12 oz rotini or elbow pasta
1 packet ranch seasoning mix
4 cups beef broth
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup cream cheese
1 tbsp olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground beef and season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned.
Stir in ranch seasoning, beef broth, and uncooked pasta. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender.
