How to Make Cheeseburger Chili Mac And Cheese

  1. Preheat your broiler to high.
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 1 pound of elbow macaroni and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain thoroughly and set aside.
  3. While the pasta cooks, heat 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil (evoo) in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Add 1 pound of ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned, about 5-6 minutes.
  5. Add 1 medium onion (chopped) and 1 tablespoon of chili powder to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook until the onion is softened, about 4-5 minutes.
  6. Stir in 1/2 cup of ketchup, 2 tablespoons of yellow mustard, and 1 cup of beef broth. Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, about 4-5 minutes.
  7. Add the cooked macaroni to the skillet with the chili mixture. Stir to combine.
  8. Transfer the macaroni and chili mixture to a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  9. Top with 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese.
  10. Broil for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  11. Let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with chopped green onions or a dollop of sour cream, if desired.
