Ingredients

2 lbs Ground beef
1 cup Elbow macaroni
1 Onion medium
1 Carrot large
2 Potatoes medium
4 cups Water/ broth/ stock
1 cup Milk
1 cup Fresh cream or half and half
4 cups Cheese grated
1 tbsp Paprika
1 tbsp Dried mixed herbs
Salt, to taste

Instructions

Prep the Veggies: Grate the carrots, dice the onion, and peel and cut the potatoes into bite-sized chunks. Grate the cheese. The more, the better. You can also add Parmesan or/and mozzarella for extra flavor, but cheddar alone works fine.
Brown the Beef: Preheat a pot over medium heat. Once hot, add the ground beef and brown it for 5 to 10 minutes. Add the onions and sauté for another 5 minutes.
Season and Simmer: Add paprika, mixed herb spice, and a little salt. Stir well. Add the grated carrots and potatoes, then pour in 4 cups of water. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 to 15 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
Add the Macaroni and Milk: Add 1 cup of elbow macaroni and 1 cup of milk. Stir and cook for another 10 minutes.
Finish with Cream and Cheese: Add 1 cup of fresh cream and cook for 5 more minutes. Turn off the stove, then add the cheese. Stir well, close the pot, and let the residual heat melt the cheese and blend the flavors.
