Ingredients

4 servings
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • ½ cup finely diced onion (or 1 teaspoon onion powder)
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 ¼ cup chicken broth
  • 1 ½ cups elbow macaroni
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 ¾ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Steps

  1. In a small bowl, combine cornstarch, garlic powder, sugar, salt, paprika, and pepper. Set aside.

  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the ground beef and onion, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until no pink remains. Drain any excess fat.

  3. Add milk, broth, and uncooked elbow macaroni to the beef. Stir the cornstarch and spice mixture. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

  4. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a gentle boil, cover and cook for 9-12 minutes or until the pasta is cooked through, stirring occasionally. If needed, add more broth or water.

  5. Remove from heat and stir in cheese until melted. Serve hot.
