1. Gather and prepare all ingredients, including cooking the pasta according to package instructions or cooking it directly in the sauce later for fewer dishes. Dice the onions and mince the garlic for easy incorporation.
2. Heat a skillet over medium heat and brown the ground beef until no longer pink, breaking it apart with a spatula. Drain excess fat to prevent the dish from becoming greasy.
3. Add the diced onions and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the onions turn translucent and fragrant.
4. Stir in tomato paste or diced tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, and beef broth to create the sauce. Mix thoroughly for a smooth consistency.
5. Season the sauce with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer to let the flavors blend.
6. Add the pasta to the sauce, whether pre-cooked or uncooked (if uncooked, simmer longer to allow it to absorb the flavors and soften). Stir to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.
7. Once the pasta is tender and the sauce has thickened, sprinkle the cheese blend (cheddar, mozzarella, Monterey Jack) over the mixture. Stir until the cheese melts completely into the dish.
8. For additional creaminess, optionally stir in cream cheese at this stage until fully incorporated.
9. Serve the cheesy sloppy cheeseburger pasta hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
10. Pair the dish with a side of salad or green beans to enhance the meal and balance flavors.
