A delightful twist on the classic cheeseburger macaroni, this recipe combines rich flavors and a creamy texture for a comforting meal.
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks.
Using lean ground beef reduces excess grease, making the dish healthier.
Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté until softened.
Cooking the onion with the beef enhances the flavor of the dish.
Stir in the elbow macaroni, milk, and seasonings (paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and sugar).
Mix the seasonings well to ensure even distribution of flavors.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the pasta is tender, stirring occasionally.
Stirring occasionally prevents the pasta from sticking to the skillet.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with a bit of water to create a slurry, then stir it into the skillet to thicken the sauce.
Adding the slurry gradually prevents lumps in the sauce.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and the sauce is creamy.
Using freshly grated cheese ensures a smoother sauce.
Remove the skillet from heat and let it stand for 5 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken further.
Letting the dish rest enhances the flavors and texture.
Serve the creamy cheesy macaroni skillet warm, garnished with additional cheese if desired.
Serving immediately ensures the dish is enjoyed at its best.
