→ Main Ingredients
1 lb ground beef
1 chopped onion
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1/4 cup chopped pepperoni
1 tbsp minced garlic
2 cups beef broth
2 cups marinara sauce
1/2 cup milk
2 1/2 cups penne pasta
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Dried parsley (to garnish)
Steps
In a large skillet, brown the ground beef with the chopped onion over medium heat.
Add salt, pepper, paprika, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Mix well.
Chop the pepperoni into fourths. Add 1/4 cup of chopped pepperoni to the center of the skillet once the beef is nearly browned. Cook for a few minutes.
Drain any excess grease from the pepperoni and ground beef mixture.
Add minced garlic, beef broth, marinara sauce, milk, and pasta to the skillet. Stir well and bring to a simmer.
Cover the skillet with a lid and simmer on medium-low heat for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is cooked.
Once the pasta is cooked, stir in 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.
Top with the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese and leave it on the stove until melted or place the skillet under the broiler to melt the cheese.
Top with dried parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy!
