Brown the ground beef and onion in a large deep skillet. Drain excess grease if needed.
Add the paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, Kinder’s The Blend, salt and pepper. Cook for about 30 seconds.
Add the beef broth, milk and dry ditalini. If using Worcestershire sauce, stir it in now.
Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover loosely and simmer for 8–10 minutes, stirring frequently so the pasta doesn’t stick.
Add the chopped broccoli during the last 3–4 minutes of cooking. Cover and continue cooking until the pasta and broccoli are tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream and cheddar cheese until melted and creamy.
Let sit for 3–5 minutes before serving. The sauce will continue to thicken as it sits.
