Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Boil the Pasta: Fill a large pot with water, add salt, and bring to a boil. Add the bowtie pasta and cook for 10-12 minutes until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Cook the Beef: In a large skillet, heat over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned. Drain excess fat, leaving enough for flavor.
  3. Add Seasonings: Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper over the beef. Stir for 1-2 minutes to infuse flavors.
  4. Create the Sauce: Reduce heat to low, add cubed Velveeta cheese and milk, stirring continuously until melted and smooth.
