Creamy Beef Pasta – an easy recipe that gets dinner on the table the whole family will love any night of the week!  Creamy, hearty, and perfect for those picky eaters.

When I was growing up Hamburger Helper made a regular appearance in our house.  And I completely understand why. Working all day, coming home to a house full of hungry people, and you need to figure out dinner fast.  But with just a little bit of planning you can get a similar meal on the table, that not only tastes a million times better, but is also so much better for you!  You can know and trust all of the ingredients in it, and your family is still going to love it and go back for more.

Did you know that Safeway has over 1500 products in their O Organics® line? I absolutely love that when I am shopping there, I have organic choices that are reasonably priced down every single aisle. Even for this ground beef pasta recipe I used O Organics Mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, ground beef, pasta, and tomato sauce. That is pretty much all the main ingredients. So much better than the box mix I grew up with! Whatever you are making you can feel good serving O Organics products, available exclusively at Alberstons stores, to your family and friends.

As fall is approaching and we are thinking about back to school, it is time to start planning ahead.  A few quick and easy dinners will help make it through the busy week, regardless of what the school year looks like!  This ground beef pasta is so simple to make, you can have it ready in under 30 minutes with just a few ingredients.  Your picky kids will love it, and you can even add mushrooms, peppers or other veggies to bulk it up if you like.

O Organics offers high quality USDA-certified organic back to school essentials available at a value in the Denver area exclusively at Safeway stores. They have you covered with easy grab and go snacks for the kids, hearty breakfast options and everything you need for quick and easy dinners.

How to Make Creamy Beef Pasta

1. In a large skillet brown the ground beef and onion together.  Once the onion is soft and the meat is cooked make sure to drain away any fat.
2. I like to add the garlic for just a minute or two after the meat is cooked.  This makes sure you get the flavor of the garlic and that is doesn't burn.
3. Bring a large pot of water to boil and cook the pasta according to the package directions.
4. Next mix in all the seasonings with the meat and pour in the beef broth and tomato sauce.  Bring to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes.
5. Once the sauce has started to thicken slightly mix in the cream cheese until it is melted and smooth.
6. Add the cooked pasta and Mozzarella to the pan and mix until everything is blended and the cheese is melted.

This beef pasta isn't quite a one pot meal like a box mix, but it still takes the same amount of time and is so much better! This simple recipe is full of flavor and a huge hit at our house. I love how easy it is to make and I know what my family is eating. They are just happy for a comforting pasta dish that fills them up!
