Ingredients

  • 1 to 1 1/2 lbs ground beef – I like the extra lean, you could substitute ground turkey or chicken as well.
  • 1 white onion chopped
  • Drizzle of Olive oil
  • 4 Tbls butter
  • 4 rounded Tbls white flour
  • 1 tsp. Tony Chachere’s Seasoning.
  • 1 1/2 cup milk
  • Chicken broth – approximately 2 – 3 cups.
  • 1 pkg rotini, cooked and drained (I like the Bertolli brand – but use your favorite)

Preparation

Step 1

Heat a large skillet or pot. It needs to be large enough to mix the beef, sauce and pasta into it. Drizzle the olive oil into it. Add the chopped onions and cook until translucent. Add the ground meat of your choice and cook until it thoroughly cooked.

Cook the pasta.

In a saucepan, melt the butter. Be careful not to let it burn. Add the flour, making a roux. Cook for just a minute to take the raw taste out of the flour. Slowly add the milk, whisking until thoroughly mixed. Begin adding the chicken broth – a little at a time – all the while whisking. You are making a cream sauce so you want it to be thick, but not like paste. And, you want to be able to pour it over the noodles and beef mixture. Once you have it to the consistency that you would like, add the Tony Chachere’s seasoning and mix well.

Once the beef mixture is cooked, and the pasta and been cooked and drained, add the pasta to the beef and mix well. Pour the sauce over the pasta and beef mixture. Mix well. Salt and pepper to taste, if you feel it needs more seasoning.
