Cheeseburger Pasta Pot

Kinda like those red boxes you had growing up; but better. (Still just as easy though!)

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp fat of choice lard, bacon grease, butter, etc
  • 1 tsp horseradish root finely shredded
  • 1 1/2 tsp lemon grass minced
  • 2 tbsp fennel bulb finely minced
  • 2 lb grassfed Angus ground beef
  • 1 tsp truffle zest powder
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 4 tsp Marcustershire sauce
  • 2 tsp ground dry mustard
  • 3/4 teaspoon NAGrika
  • 1/4 teaspoon pink peppercorn ground
  • 1 1/2 package dried uncooked small Tinkyada Brown Rice pasta
  • 32 oz cups beef bone broth
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 3 cups Cheddar cheese shredded

Instructions
 

  • Heat your large pot or skillet over medium heat.
  • Plop down your chosen fat, and then dump in your horseradish, lemon grass, and fennel. Let them meet in the heat and become best buddies.
  • Then introduce the ground beef. Brown until cooked through and no longer pink.
  • Season all these friends up with the lovely accessories of salt, pepper, truffle zest (oooh, lalala!) Marcustershire sauce, mustard powder, NAGrika, and pink peppercorn.
  • Now that the party has started, bring in the pasta, heavy cream, and bone broth; gently stirring to mingle and meet.
  • Turn up the heat a little to bring to a boil.
  • Cover and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the pasta is al dente. (careful with that Brown Rice pasta; it tends to get a little overly friendly and goop up if you over cook it!)
  • Remove from heat, and add the cheese and stir to combine.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

I like to add some extra pizzazz, just like I did to the box when I first Married Blue- Eyes.
  • Mushrooms
  • Chopped Frozen Spinach
  • Diced pickled beets
Top with relish, shredded lettuce, ketchup, mustard; and of course, more cheese.
If you don't like Cheddar, you can also use Provolone, Fontina, Gruyere, or Gouda!
