Cheeseburger macaroni combines seasoned ground beef and gooey cheese sauce with tender pasta for the ultimate one-pot family meal. Quick, budget-friendly, and a hit with kids and adults alike.
In a large deep skillet or Dutch oven, cook ground beef over medium-high heat, stirring and breaking up the meat, until browned and no longer pink, about 5-6 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
Add the diced onion to the beef and sauté over medium heat until the onion is soft and translucent, about 3 minutes. Stir in paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the ketchup, Dijon mustard, uncooked elbow macaroni, beef broth, and milk. Stir well to combine, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 12-14 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is just tender and most liquid is absorbed.
Remove the lid and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until completely melted and the sauce is smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning if desired. Let rest 2-3 minutes before serving for optimal sauce texture.
