🧀🍝 Creamy Velveeta Beef Bowtie Pasta

A rich, cheesy, and satisfying one-pot comfort meal made with tender bowtie noodles, seasoned ground beef, and melty Velveeta cheese. Perfect for busy weeknights or crowd-pleasing dinners!

✅ Ingredients:

• 2.25 pounds ground beef

• 1 (16 oz) box of bowtie noodles (farfalle)

• 1 large block Velveeta cheese, cubed (about 16 oz or adjust to taste)

• 1 can cream of chicken soup (10.5 oz)

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• ½ teaspoon onion powder

• ½ teaspoon black pepper

• Salt to taste

• ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional, for extra flavor)

• Chopped parsley or extra black pepper, for garnish

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Cook the bowtie pasta in salted water according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. In a large skillet or Dutch oven, cook the ground beef over medium heat until fully browned and cooked through. Drain excess grease.

3. Season the beef with garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and smoked paprika (if using). Stir to combine and cook for 1 minute more.

4. Add the cream of chicken soup and cubed Velveeta cheese to the skillet. Stir constantly over medium-low heat until the cheese melts completely and the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.

5. Gently fold in the cooked bowtie noodles, making sure every piece is coated in the cheesy beef mixture.

6. Let everything simmer on low for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and well combined.

7. Serve hot, garnished with fresh chopped parsley or a dash of black pepper.
