1
In a large pot, cook the ground beef over medium heat until no longer pink. Drain any excess fat.
2
Add the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and 1 teaspoon of kosher salt to the beef. Stir well to combine.
3
To the pot, add the water and elbow macaroni. Stir, ensuring the water covers the macaroni.
4
Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and let it simmer for about 15 minutes until the pasta is cooked and the water is absorbed.
5
In the meantime, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and stir to form a smooth paste. Cook for a minute until it turns a light golden color.
6
Gradually pour in the milk while whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Continue to cook and whisk until the mixture thickens to a creamy consistency.
7
Remove the saucepan from the heat, and add the shredded cheddar cheese to the milk mixture. Stir until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth.
8
Add the dijon mustard, remaining 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt, and black pepper to the cheese sauce. Stir to combine.
9
Pour the cheese sauce over the drained pasta and beef in the pot. Stir everything together until the pasta and beef are evenly coated in cheese sauce.
10
Continue to cook on medium-low for another 3-5 minutes, until the sauce further thickens and clings to the pasta.
11
Serve the Deluxe Cheeseburger Macaroni hot with a side of crispy green salad or garlic bread.
