Ingredients

1 lb ground beef

1 onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

4 cups beef broth

1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes, undrained

1 cup elbow macaroni

1 cup milk

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional Toppings:

Chopped pickles

Diced tomatoes

Shredded lettuce

Instructions

Brown the Beef:
In a large pot over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat.

Sauté Aromatics:
Add chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook for 3–4 minutes until onion is soft.

Add Liquids:
Stir in beef broth, diced tomatoes (with juices), and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a boil.

Cook Pasta:
Add elbow macaroni, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook for about 10 minutes or until pasta is tender.

Make It Creamy:
Stir in milk and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir continuously until cheese is melted and soup is creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve:
Ladle into bowls and top with optional garnishes like chopped pickles, shredded lettuce, and diced tomatoes for a “loaded cheeseburger” experience.

Notes

For extra richness, use half-and-half or heavy cream instead of milk.

Want more veggies? Stir in frozen peas or corn with the macaroni.

Use sharp cheddar for stronger flavor or mix cheeses like Colby Jack or mozzarella.
