Ingredients

1 pound lean ground beef
1 large yellow onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
2 cups low sodium beef broth
1 8oz can tomato sauce
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 cups pasta shells (can also use elbow pasta)
½ cup heavy cream

Steps:

In a large sauté pan with a lid, brown the ground beef over medium high heat. Remove cooked ground beef from pan and set aside, reserving 2 tablespoons of grease in the pan.
Cook the onion until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic for the last 30 seconds.
Add the flour and stir to cook for about 1 minute, slowly stir in the beef broth and bring the mixture to a boil.
