Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large skillet or Dutch oven, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat until browned. Drain off any excess grease.

  2. 2

    Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Stir in the diced tomatoes (undrained), beef broth, uncooked elbow macaroni, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.

  4. 4

    Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the macaroni is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

    10 min

  5. 5

    Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese until melted and creamy. Stir in the ketchup and relish.

  6. 6

    Serve hot, garnished with extra cheese or a dollop of ketchup if desired.
