How to Make Macaroni With Cheese Ground Beef
- Heat olive oil in a large deep skillet over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, and red bell pepper; sauté for 2 minutes, until softened.
- Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, for 8-10 minutes, or until cooked through and browned. Drain off any excess grease.
- In a separate saucepan, heat beef broth.
- Add the hot beef broth, elbow macaroni, diced tomatoes (undrained), salt, pepper, and paprika to the ground beef mixture. Stir to combine.
- Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the macaroni is tender and the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Stir in sour cream and shredded cheddar cheese. Cook over low heat for another 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy and smooth.
- Stir in fresh parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy!
