OnePan Beef Penne Skillet

Instructions

1. 1

   **Sauté Aromatics**: In a large pot or deep skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic, and sauté until the onions are translucent and fragrant.

2. 2

   **Cook Beef**: Add the minced beef to the pot. Break it up with a spatula and cook until browned and fully cooked through, seasoning it with salt and pepper as you go.

3. 3

   **Add Bell Peppers**: Toss in the chopped bell peppers and cook for 3-4 minutes until they soften.

4. 4

   **Cook Pasta**: Add the uncooked penne rigate and 2 cups of water to the pot. Bring it to a boil, then cover and reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until the pasta is al dente, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. You may need to add a splash more water if it looks too dry.

5. 5

   **Add Sauce and Creaminess**: Once the pasta is cooked, stir in the tomato sauce, milk, and siracha-mayo sauce. Mix until everything is well combined, bringing it back to a gentle simmer. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.

6. 6

   **Taste and Adjust**: Taste your creation and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or sriracha-mayo if you want more kick!

7. 7

   **Serve Hot**: Spoon yourself a generous helping and enjoy your delicious one-pan meal!
