Ingredients
  

1 pound ground beef

1 medium onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

12 ounces rotini pasta

1 can (10 oz) Rotel diced tomatoes with green chilies

1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup

1 cup beef broth

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the rotini pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

    Brown the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 6-7 minutes.

      Add Aromatics: Stir in the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

        Mix the Sauces: Add the Rotel diced tomatoes (with their juices), cream of mushroom soup, and beef broth to the skillet. Mix well to combine.

          Season: Sprinkle in the chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir to incorporate all the flavors and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.

            Combine: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing everything together until the pasta is well coated with the sauce.

              Cheese It Up: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the pasta mixture. Cover the skillet and let it cook for another 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

                Serve: Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and serve warm. Enjoy this cheesy, hearty dish!
