Creamy Beef and Elbows Batch 2. Creamy Beef and Shells - A quick/easy ground beef recipe, this is a pasta dish that will be on your dinner table all week long! So creamy and so All that pasta, just collecting that creaminess. And the perfectly crumbled ground beef, again, soaking up every last drop of that creamy, heavenly goodness.
Loaded with fork-tender beef, mushrooms, and creamy gravy, it's sure to be a party hit!
The sauce will be thin and loose in the beginning but it will thicken and reduce as the beef simmers to tenderness.
I add table cream (Nestle's all-purpose cream) to finish off the gravy but feel free to swap with sour.

Creamy Beef and Elbows Batch 2 instructions

This is a quick and easy meal. Serve with a salad and loaf of bread, delicious! Give Beef and Shells the One-Pot Pasta Treatment. If you've ever made a one-pot pasta, you know that cooking the pasta directly in the sauce is a shortcut to creaminess, because as it cooks the pasta releases starch that thickens the cooking liquid. In this beefy version, we're upping the creaminess.
