Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 cup yellow onion, diced

Step 3 -Add the garlic, the Worcestershire sauce, the tomato paste, the salt, and the pepper to the pot and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Step 4 -Pour 1/4 cup of the beef broth into the beef mixture and scrape the bottom of the pot to release any pieces of the meat that may be stuck.

Step 8 -Stir the shredded cheese into the beef mixture until it is completely melted and combined.
Step 9 -Serve.
