Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (93% lean)
- 10 oz elbow macaroni
- 15 oz canned tomato sauce
- 2 1/2 cup beef broth
- 6 oz shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 yellow onions

Method
Brown the beef with the diced onion in a large deep skillet over medium-high, about 8 minutes. Drain the fat.
Stir in the garlic powder, paprika, mustard, and salt.
Add the tomato sauce, broth, and dry macaroni. Stir well and bring to a boil.
Cover, lower the heat, and simmer 12 minutes, stirring twice, until the pasta is tender and the liquid has mostly absorbed.
Kill the heat and fold in the cheddar until melted and creamy.
Let it sit 3 minutes to thicken before serving.
