Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef

  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 2 teaspoons granulated garlic powder (make sure it is granulated)

  • 1/2 cup ketchup (or more added later or can add in some brown sugar)
  • Ground pepper (to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream (or to taste)
  • Seasoned salt (added towards to end of cooking - or white salt)

We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: In a large non-stick skillet with high sides, add in ground beef. With a spoon separate the beef in larger size chunks. Add in a tablespoon of butter (or you could omit the butter). Cook and brown the beef chunks very well (about 12 minutes). Add in mustard and ketchup (start with 1/2 cup ketchup) and all spices; continue to cook stirring a few minutes more.

  • Step 2: Add in cream and beef broth; bring to a simmer stirring.

  • Step 3: Mix in the dry macaroni. Bring back to a simmer. Cover and lightly simmer 20 minutes (adding in more ketchup if desired).

  • Step 4: Remove cover and simmer uncovered until pasta is cooked to your liking, seasoning with salt towards the end of cooking time.

  • Step 5: Mix in 1/4 cup of cheese until combined. Sprinkle top with more cheese. Serve.

  • NOTE: if you are serving kids you may want to increase the ketchup for a sweeter taste or add in some brown sugar
