This is Archibald, the pet of Sam Dungan. He is an orange tabby who may also be part beast. Archie was born in 2016 from an adopted stray and is one of a litter of seven. Some of Archie’s favorite things are dinner time, sitting on Sam’s lap (especially while Sam is doing work), and running around outside while visiting his grandparents.
4 oz. Velveeta cheese cut into cubes (equal to 1/3 cup)* (can sub with ¾ cup shredded cheese) 1 lb. Ground Beef 85% lean
1 Tablespoon Butter 2 cloves Garlic minced 1 oz. packet Taco Seasoning 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 2 Tablespoons Tomato paste 2 cup Chicken broth 1 cup Whole milk at room temp 1 (10 oz.) can Rotel Tomatoes with green chilis (undrained) ½ lb. Medium pasta shells Shred the cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese from a block and set aside. It should be near room temperature when added to the pasta sauce. Cook and crumble the ground beef over medium-high heat in a high-walled pot or Dutch oven. Drain grease. Melt the butter in the same pot and add and garlic. Cook for 1 minute. Add all remaining ingredients except the cheese and pasta. Stir to combine. Bring to a gentle boil. Add the pasta and submerge it in the liquid. Cover and cook according to package instructions. Slide a silicone spatula along the bottom of the pot halfway through to lift any ingredients that may be settling to the bottom. Remove cover and ensure the pasta is sufficiently cooked. Taste-test a noodle for doneness before proceeding If needed, cover and cook longer, until your desired doneness is obtained. Turn heat to low. Gradually stir in cheese until melted. There will be plenty of sauce, but it will thicken upon standing and the pasta will continue to absorb it. Serve once desired consistency is obtained.
