Equipment

9x13 Casserole Dish

Ingredients

1 ½ pounds ground beef lean, 90/10 works well
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 medium yellow onion diced
3 cloves garlic minced
4 cups beef broth low sodium
1 10-ounce can Rotel any brand of tomatoes with green chilies works
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
½ tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
16 ounces elbow macaroni
½ cup heavy cream
1 ½ cups Cheddar cheese shredded
1 ½ cups Monterey Jack cheese shredded

Optional

green onions for garnish

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375º Fahrenheit and grease a 9x13” baking dish.
In a large, deep skillet, brown and crumble the ground beef over medium-high heat. Drain any excess grease once browned.
Season the beef with salt and pepper. Add in the onion and garlic and continue cooking over medium-high heat for about 3 minutes or until the onions are translucent.
Add the beef broth, tomatoes and chilies, tomato paste, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir until combined. Add the elbow macaroni and simmer, covered, for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the macaroni is al dente.
Once the macaroni is ready, stir in the heavy cream and then remove the skillet from heat.
Spread half of the macaroni mixture into an even layer in the bottom of the prepared 9x13” baking dish.
Sprinkle half of the Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses over the macaroni mixture. Add the remaining macaroni mixture over the top of the cheese in an even layer and then sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
Bake for 375º Fahrenheit for 15 minutes or until the casserole is bubbling hot and the cheese is melted. If desired, garnish with green onions before serving.
