Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound Ground Beef
  • 1 medium Onion chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 28 ounce can Crushed Tomatoes
  • 4 cups Beef Broth
  • 1 10.75 ounce can Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup
  • 1 cup Milk
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dried Basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1 cup Elbow Macaroni
  • 1/2 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • 1/4 cup Green Onions chopped, for garnish (optional)

Equipment

  • Large Stockpot or Dutch Oven
  • Wooden spoon

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Brown the ground beef in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, beef broth, condensed cheddar cheese soup, milk, oregano, basil, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer.
  4. Add the elbow macaroni and stir to combine. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the macaroni is cooked through and the soup has thickened.
  5. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and creamy.
  6. Garnish with chopped green onions, if desired. Serve hot.

Notes

For a spicier soup, add a pinch of red pepper flakes. You can also substitute other types of cheese, such as Monterey Jack or Colby Jack.
