Add the beef back into the pan.

Take it off the heat and scoop it into the pasta shells.
Top each shell with cubes of cheese.
Using the same pan add the beef broth, milk, and cornstarch and whisk before turning the heat back on.
Add in the rest of the cheddar cheese a little at a time while whisking for 3 to 5 minutes or until thickened.
Pour about half the sauce around the shells.
