Cheesy Beef and Macaroni

Cheesy Beef and Macaroni One Dish Meal

Ground beef, pasta, and cheese is a comforting meal to settle down to and enjoy with your family. It is quick and easy to put together. It cooks all in one skillet, saving you of having to wash extra dishes.

Ingredients

1 lb. ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1 sweet bell pepper, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 c. chopped carrots (optional)
1 Tbs. steak spice seasoning (your favorite)
1/2 Tbs. Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp. Chili powder
1 (8 oz.) can mushrooms, drained
1 (28 oz.) can tomatoes with green chilies, diced
1 c. water
1 (10 1/2 oz.) can cream of mushroom soup
1 Tbs. Dijon mustard
salt and pepper to taste
2 c. macaroni
2 c. cheddar cheese, shredded

Directions

In a large cast iron skillet or Dutch oven, brown the ground beef, onion, green peppers and carrots. Cook until the ground beef is no longer pink. Drain off excess grease.

Stir in garlic, steak seasoning, Worcestershire, chili powder, cream of mushroom soup, tomatoes, water, and mustard. Stir well.  Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Add the pasta, and bring to a bubble.  Cover and cook over medium heat, until the pasta is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.  This takes around 8 to 10 minutes. Taste.  Season with salt and pepper if desired.

Sprinkle cheddar cheese over the top. Cover and cook for 1 minute, or until the cheese is melted. 

Serve and enjoy.
