Cheeseburger Macaroni Recipe

1 Add the olive oil to a large skillet or pot over medium heat. Once hot, add the onion and garlic and cook for 4-5 minutes until the onion is translucent.
2 Add the ground beef to the pot with the onion and garlic and cook for about 8 minutes, crumbling as you cook, until browned. If you’re short on time or have a fattier beef, drain the excess fat from the pot. Otherwise, let the beef continue to cook until most of the liquid cooks off.
3 To the ground beef mixture, add the tomato paste, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper and stir to combine.
4 Add the broth and milk to the pot and increase the heat to high. Once the mixture comes to a boil, add the pasta to the pot, then reduce the heat slightly to medium-high to maintain a low boil. Cook for 12 minutes, until most of the liquid has been absorbed and the pasta has softened.
5 Turn off the heat, then stir in half the the cheese and top with the remaining half, and cover with a lid to let the cheese melt.
6 Serve and enjoy!
