2 ½ cups elbow macaroni
1 (8 ounce) package processed cheese (such as Velveeta®), cubed
1 pound ground beef
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder

1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed Cheddar cheese soup (such as Campbell's®)

Mix ground beef into macaroni mixture and spread into prepared baking dish. Top casserole with slices of American cheese and sprinkle cracker crumbs on top. Cover casserole with aluminum foil.
