This cheesy and creamy beefaroni is the ultimate family comfort food! Packed with ground beef, tomato sauce, and tender macaroni. What's not to love?
Ingredients
- ½ lb uncooked macaroni
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion (diced)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce
- 1 ½ cups beef broth/stock
- ¼ cup tomato paste
- ¼ cup ketchup
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ cup heavy cream (or half n half or full-fat sour cream)
- 2 cups cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil (I used 1 tablespoon of salt for 8 cups of water). Cook the macaroni according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and onions. Cook for 8 minutes until the beef is no longer pink.
- Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the flour and stir until evenly incorporated.
- Stir in the tomato sauce, beef broth, tomato paste, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
- Stir in the heavy cream, followed by the cheddar cheese. Finally, stir in the drained macaroni and mix until well combined. If you find the sauce is too thick, add a little bit of water to thin it out. Enjoy!
