Creating One-Pot Creamy Beef and Shells is a straightforward process when you follow these simple steps:

1. Brown the Ground Beef: In a large pot over medium heat, add the ground beef and cook until fully browned. Drain excess fat.

2. Sauté the Onions and Garlic: Add the diced onions and minced garlic to the pot. Cook until the onions become translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

3. Add the Spices: Sprinkle in the paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir well to coat the beef and onions.

4. Mix in the Pasta and Broth: Pour in the beef broth and add the medium pasta shells. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

5. Simmer the Pasta: Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the pasta simmer for about 10 minutes or until the shells are al dente, stirring occasionally.

6. Stir in the Cream: Once the pasta is cooked, slowly add the heavy cream to the pot. Stir everything together until well combined.

7. Melt the Cheese: Gradually add the shredded cheddar cheese to the mixture, stirring until it’s smooth and creamy.

8. Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley for a touch of color.

These easy-to-follow steps offer a clear path to creating a delicious meal that everyone will love.
