Ingredients
Ground beef: Choose freshly ground beef with at least eighty percent lean for hearty flavor and less grease. Look for gently marbled bright red beef for juiciest results.
Cream of mushroom soup: Roasted garlic flavor adds a gentle savory complexity. Avoid cans with dents or dust for the best shelf life.
Velveeta cheese: Mexican style delivers a smooth melt and a little kick. Cut into cubes for faster melting.
Pasta shells: Choose medium or large shells as they scoop up plenty of sauce. Aim for pasta that feels firm and dry but not brittle.
