Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb 90% lean ground beef
  • 1 small yellow onion finely diced
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 5 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • 5 oz dry elbow macaroni
  • 1 cup whole milk

  • 1 tbsp yellow mustard
  • 1/4 tsp fine salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 4 oz sharp cheddar freshly grated
  • 2 oz deli American cheese torn into small pieces

Method
 

  1. Brown beef and onion in 6-quart pot over medium-high 8 minutes, crumbling beef finely, to 160°F. Drain excess fat.
  2. Stir in garlic 30 seconds. Add broth, ketchup, mustard, salt, and pepper; boil.
  3. Add macaroni; simmer uncovered 8 to 10 minutes until just tender, stirring often.
  4. Add milk; gently heat 2 to 3 minutes until steaming without hard boiling.
  5. Off heat, stir in American cheese, then cheddar in 3 additions, until smooth. Divide among 6 bowls while broth still flows around pasta.
