Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 or 85/15 for best flavor)
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups beef broth
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 (10.75 oz) can condensed cheddar cheese soup
  • 1 cup elbow macaroni, uncooked
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon mustard powder
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, plus more for serving
  • Sour cream, for serving (optional)
  • Dill pickles, chopped, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place large pot over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and diced onion. Cook, breaking up beef with a spoon, until beef is browned and onion is softened, about 6-8 minutes. Drain off excess grease.
  2. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, stirring constantly.
  3. Stir in beef broth, diced tomatoes with juice, condensed cheddar cheese soup, uncooked elbow macaroni, milk, mustard powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Bring soup to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until macaroni is tender.
  5. Remove pot from heat and stir in 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese until melted and soup is creamy.
  6. Ladle soup into bowls and top with additional shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, and chopped dill pickles if desired.

Notes

  • Use condensed cheddar cheese soup, not ready-to-serve, as it acts as a thick base for the soup.
  • The pasta will continue to absorb liquid as it sits, so soup may thicken upon storage. Add a splash of broth or milk when reheating.
  • For best melting results, shred cheese from a block rather than using pre-shredded cheese.
