Print Recipe

A creamy, cheesy pasta dish combining the flavors of sloppy joes with tender pasta, perfect for a quick and comforting meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz pasta (elbow macaroni, rotini, or shells)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (optional)
  • 1 (15 oz) can tomato sauce
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley or green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
  3. Stir in the diced onion and garlic. Cook for 3–4 minutes until softened and fragrant. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika.
  4. Add mustard, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce (if using), and tomato sauce. Stir to combine and let it simmer on low for 5–7 minutes to meld the flavors.
  5. Stir in the sour cream and 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheddar. Mix until melted and creamy.
  6. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and stir to coat everything evenly in the cheesy, sloppy sauce. If needed, add a splash of water or broth to loosen the sauce.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese over the top and cover for 2 minutes to melt. Garnish with parsley or green onions and serve hot.

Notes

For best results, use freshly shredded cheddar cheese for better melting. Adjust seasoning to taste and add a splash of broth if the sauce becomes too thick.
