Step 1

In a large skillet, brown the ground beef with onions over medium heat. Once completely cooked, drain the excess grease away and return the skillet with the meat to the heat.

Step 2

Add the garlic and sauté 1 to 2 minutes, or until the garlic is fragrant.

Step 3

Add the brown gravy mix, cheddar cheese soup, and water. Mix thoroughly to combine. (If using onion and garlic powder instead of fresh, add those now.)

Step 4

Add the uncooked pasta to the pan and stir well. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cover. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the pasta is al dente or cooked to your liking.

Step 5

Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted. Serve immediately.
