→ Main Ingredients

01 - 450 g ground beef
02 - 1 small onion, finely chopped
03 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
04 - 480 ml beef broth
05 - 360 ml whole milk
06 - 200 g elbow macaroni, uncooked
07 - 1 can (410 g) diced tomatoes, undrained
08 - 2 g paprika
09 - 2 g dried parsley
10 - 2 g onion powder
11 - 2 g garlic powder
12 - 6 g salt
13 - 1 g black pepper
14 - 200 g shredded cheddar cheese

# Instructions:

01 - In a large skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until thoroughly browned. Drain any excess fat and return the pan to the heat.
02 - Add finely chopped onion and minced garlic to the pan. Sauté for 2–3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
03 - Stir in beef broth, milk, uncooked elbow macaroni, undrained diced tomatoes, paprika, dried parsley, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine all elements evenly.
04 - Bring mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is al dente and most of the liquid is absorbed.
05 - Remove from heat. Add shredded cheddar cheese and mix until thoroughly melted and incorporated. Serve immediately.

# Notes:

01 - For a smoother sauce, use freshly shredded cheese and avoid pre-shredded varieties with added anti-caking agents.
