Begin by cooking the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat until browned. Drain the excess fat if necessary, then set it aside.
2
In a small bowl, combine your smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder and kosher salt. Sprinkle this mixture over your cooked ground beef and give it a good stir, making sure each piece of beef is coated in the spice mixture.
3
In the same skillet, add water and the elbow macaroni. Bring this mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and simmer for 12-15 minutes or until the pasta is cooked to your preference and most of the water has been absorbed.
4
While your past is simmering, in a separate large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour until the mixture is light golden in color.
5
Into the flour and butter mixture, add the milk gradually, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Allow this mixture to cook until it thickens slightly - this should take around 5 minutes.
6
To the thickened mixture, add the shredded cheese and dry ground mustard, stirring until the cheese is fully melted into the sauce.
7
Pour your finished cheese sauce over the pasta and beef mixture, stirring thoroughly to combine. Cook on medium heat for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken a tad more with the pasta and meat.
8
Finally, season your dish with salt and black pepper according to taste. Serve this piping hot right off the stove- and there you have it, your own Cheddar Infused Beef Macaroni is ready!
