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

Method
 

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Add the Macaroni and Milk: Add 1 cup of elbow macaroni and 1 cup of milk. Stir and cook for another 10 minutes.
  5. 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.
