Description
This Cajun Beef Linguine in Creamy Velveeta Parmesan Garlic Sauce is a bold, comforting pasta dinner with smoky heat, hearty beef, and an ultra-creamy cheesy garlic sauce. It’s easy to make, crave-worthy, and perfect for weeknights or special dinners alike.
Ingredients
12 oz linguine pasta
1 lb ground beef
2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup heavy cream
8 oz Velveeta cheese, cubed
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ cup chopped tomatoes (optional)
2 tablespoons chopped parsley (optional)
Instructions
1. Boil salted water in a saucepan. Add linguine and cook until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.
3. Stir in Cajun seasoning and minced garlic. Cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
4. Reduce heat to low and add butter, heavy cream, Velveeta, and Parmesan. Stir until cheese melts into a smooth sauce.
5. Add cooked linguine to the skillet. Toss to coat evenly in the sauce.
6. Garnish with chopped tomatoes and parsley if desired. Serve hot and creamy.
Notes
Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best melt and flavor—pre-shredded can clump.
Adjust Cajun seasoning to your heat preference; start mild and build up.
Reheat with a splash of cream or milk to restore creamy texture.
