Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 cups beef broth
- 2 cups dry elbow macaroni
- 1 4 cup heavy cream
- 1 3 cup sour cream
- 1 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 2 teaspoon salt
- 1 2 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Cook the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat until no longer pink. Drain excess fat.
- Add diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook for 2-3 minutes until onion is translucent and garlic is fragrant.
