  • Stir in tomato paste, yellow mustard, milk, beef broth and coconut sugar. Bring to a low boil and cover with lid. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer for 5-7 minutes to cook onions and beef through, stirring occasionally. Stir in cheddar cheese until melted and thoroughly incorporated, about 2 minutes. Gently stir in Palmini noodles until coated with sauce and heated, 2 minutes.
  • Divide mixture between 4 black MPOF containers and garnish with chopped parsley. Cool for 10 minutes before covering. Refrigerate until serving.
