Boil the pasta with enough water to cover when finished (cover the pasta and add another half).

Dice and brown the onion and bell pepper then sear in a wide skillet, set aside.

Brown the ground beef in the same skillet then turn off the heat and add the garlic and seasoning. Set aside.

When the pasta is done, pour all of the water into the pan with the ground beef. Boil until the liquid is mostly evaporated, about a cup of water left.

Turn off the heat and add the butter until melted. The mixture should be brownish and thick. Shred the cheese (see note) and mix a handful at a time until melted fully.

Add back to the pot of pasta and mix gently. Add the onions and peppers and mix then serve.
