Instructions
- Prepare a 6qt+ dutch oven with 2 tbsp of olive oil or butter. Once melted and shimmering, add the prepared vegetables (1/2 onion, 1 celery stalk, 1 banana pepper). Cook until onions are translucent or browning on the edges.
- Remove the vegetables from the dutch oven and set aside. Add the ground pork (or beef; 1lb) and cook until almost completely browned. Then add the garlic (5-6 cloves, minced) and mix together.
- Add back in the sautéed vegetables, as well as the broth (3 cups) and water (3 cups).
- Add pasta of your choice (3 cups or 16oz) and seasonings (1 tbsp parsley, 1/2 tbsp thyme, 1/2 tbsp garlic powder), as well as the Worcestershire Sauce (1 tbsp). Mix slowly to fully combine.
- Increase the heat to medium-high, cover and allow mixture to come to a boil, stirring occasionally. Once the noodles are al dente (about 5 minutes), add the cream cheese (8oz) and stir until fully combined. Add the lid again and allow mixture to come to a simmer for about 5-10 minutes.
- Serve and top with freshly shredded sharp cheddar cheese and dill pickle relish. Enjoy!
