Instructions

  • Cook the pasta until it's nice, and firm. Drain and set it to the side.
  • Now grab a large skillet, and add in the ground beef. Place the pan on the stovetop over medium heat.
  • Cook the ground beef until it's brown, then drain most of the fat. Leave at least 2 tbsp of beef fat to fry the onions and peppers.
  • Start adding in the onions and peppers. Cook until they soften.
  • Next, add in the minced garlic, and stir in.
  • Sprinkle in the all purpose flour, and stir until well incorporated with the other ingredients.
  • Cook for about 2 minutes, then pour in the half & half.
  • Stir until everything is well combined, then let cook until the sauce thickens.
  • Once the sauce thickens, add in 8 oz of the shredded cheese, and until all of the cheese is melted into the sauce.
  • Next, add in the cooked elbow macaroni. Mix in with the other ingredients until everything is well combined.
  • Transfer the homemade cheeseburger macaroni into a 9x13 bake dish.
  • Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top
  • Bake uncovered on 350, for 20 minutes.
  • Serve, and enjoy with french bread & salad!
