Cheesy Mac With Ground Beef Recipe
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 1 pound dry elbow macaroni
- 1 pound ground beef
- onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 15 ounce tomato sauce
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 tablespoon Montreal seasoning
- 3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Begin by boiling the pasta according to package directions. I recommend cooking to al dente so that the pasta holds up to the ground beef.
- While the pasta is cooking, brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the beef is browned, drain off any excess grease. Stir in the Montreal seasoning, diced onion and garlic. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in milk, tomato sauce, and shredded cheese. Keep stirring until the cheese melts.
- Stir the cooked pasta in with the cheese sauce. Stir to combine. Serve the cheesy mac with beef warm.
