Cooking
- Heat your skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with your spoon, until browned and no longer pink—about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
- Stir in the onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Let the spices toast with the beef for about 2 minutes.
- Pour in 2 cups of beef broth and bring it to a simmer. Add the whole wheat pasta, stirring to submerge it. Cover and cook for about 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender and most of the broth is absorbed.
- Remove from heat and stir in the Greek yogurt until smooth. Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese while the pasta is still hot so it melts into a creamy sauce.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt or pepper as needed. Optionally, sprinkle extra cheddar cheese on top.
- Serve warm. Leftovers reheat well with a splash of broth to keep the sauce creamy.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, consider freezing for up to 3 months, but add broth when reheating to retain creaminess.
