Time 30m

Yield 1 bowl, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb ground beef
2 3/4 cups water
1/3 cup ketchup
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
2 cups macaroni, uncooked
8 ounces cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Shred cheese, or cut into 1/2" cubes.

  • Stir in cheese; cook until melted, stirring occasionally.

Tips:

  • Use a large pot: Macaroni and cheese with hamburger meat can easily fill up a large pot, so make sure you have one that's big enough to accommodate all of the ingredients.
  • Don't overcook the macaroni: Macaroni should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked macaroni will be mushy and unpleasant.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is the star of the show in this dish, so make sure you use a good quality cheese that you enjoy. A sharp cheddar cheese is a classic choice, but you can also use other types of cheese, such as mozzarella, Parmesan, or Gouda.
  • Don't skimp on the hamburger meat: The hamburger meat adds a lot of flavor and protein to this dish, so don't skimp on it. Use a good quality ground beef that's at least 80% lean.
  • Season the hamburger meat well: Before you add the hamburger meat to the macaroni and cheese, season it well with salt, pepper, and any other spices you like. This will help to add flavor to the dish.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: There are many ways to customize this dish to your own liking. You can add different vegetables, such as peas, carrots, or broccoli. You can also add different types of cheese, or even different types of meat, such as sausage or chicken.

Conclusion:

Macaroni and cheese with hamburger meat is a classic comfort food dish that's easy to make and loved by people of all ages. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that's perfect for any occasion.
