Preheat a 10-inch skillet with a tight fitting lid over medium heat.
Add in your ground beef and diced onion, brown.
Add in all the spices.
Stir in the liquids and noodles.
Bring to a gentle simmer, cover, and turn the heat to low.
Simmer about 10-15 minutes until the noodles are tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
Remove from the heat, vent the lid, and let rest to absorb the remaining liquid for about 5 minutes.
Stir in the cheese and Worcestershire, taste, add more salt if necessary, enjoy!
Slow Cooker Directions
After cooking the beef and onions, add that and the spices and liquids to your slow cooker and stir.
Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours. Note that the cook time here is really flexible so technically you could cook this anywhere from 3-8 hours on low.
Around 15 minutes before serving, turn the slow cooker to high and stir in the pasta. Check atfter 15 minutes, and if necessary, cook for an additional 5-10 minutes ongoing as needed until the pasta is cooked as desired. If the pasta is still not done when most of the liquid is absorbed, add ½-1 cup additional milk or broth, or a combination, as needed.
