This cheesy beef macaroni is a dish that hearty and delicious. It’s easy to make with simple ingredients.
This recipe is far better than those box mixes you buy from the store. It has ingredients that you can pronounce and you can modify the ingredients to make it your own.
You can use a verity of cheese. I am using a smoked cheddar and a sharp cheddar, but you can use whatever cheese you prefer.
I used basic seasoning like garlic powder, onion powder and Italian seasoning, but you definitely can choose your own flavor. Worcestershire sauce is an add on that just makes this dish pop.
You can add as much cheese or as little it’s up to you to make this dish your own. There is satisfaction in being able to make a dish that was bought from the store out of a box.
When buying cheese you should always try to shred your own. I do sometimes buy already shredded cheese, but I am stopping that and just shredding my own now. Shredded cheese in the stores contain anti-caking agent in them, so just taking a few extra minutes to shred your own cheese would be worth it.
This dish is also a one pan meal, so clean up is easy.
And if you like more sauce then just add a little more broth.
