• Continued to brown the beef and break up with a little cookie-cutter type chopper with sharp, scalloped teeth (use whatever you prefer as a utensil.
• Brown to me is parts are actually a nice brown, not just stirring around until all the pink is gone; it helps with the flavor.
• When beef was browned to my satisfaction, put the onions back into the skillet with the browned, broken-up beef.
• Added the tomato paste, diced tomatoes and water, stirred on low heat.
• Add the flavor booster and did a taste test because it's salty, just right.
• To avoid over salting,I didn't use any salt except what I boiled the shells in until I added the booster (it's concentrated).
• Add the seasoned salt, seasoned pepper blend, parsley, Worcestershire sauce and cheese.
• If it's too thick, add a little more water; if too watery, cook it down while stirring, doesn't take long.
