Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 2 cups elbow macaroni
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 cups beef broth
• 1 14-ounce can diced tomatoes (with juices)
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Break up the meat as it cooks.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Drain any excess grease from the skillet and return it to the heat.

Step 4

Stir in the beef broth, diced tomatoes with their juices, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Add the elbow macaroni to the skillet and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the macaroni is cooked al dente. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Once the macaroni is tender, remove the skillet from the heat.

Step 8

Stir in the heavy cream and shredded cheddar cheese until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.

Step 10

Serve hot and enjoy your comforting Hamburger Mac Skillet!
