Whenever I’m in a rush for something easy and comforting, this is my go-to meal

Instructions:

1. Brown the ground beef: Cook ground beef over medium-high heat in a skillet, breaking it apart until browned.
2. Combine ingredients: Add browned ground beef to the slow cooker along with cream of mushroom soup, shredded cheddar cheese, uncooked shell pasta, milk, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
3. Cook in slow cooker: Cover and cook on high for 3.5 hours, or until pasta is desired texture. Stir occasionally, especially towards the end of cooking time.
4. Serve: Serve immediately from the slow cooker, garnishing with fresh parsley or sour cream.

Pro-tips:

• For a healthier version, use reduced sodium cream of mushroom soup and skim milk.
• This dish can also be prepared quickly on the stovetop for a faster meal.
