I am a huge fan of macaroni and cheese. I love making it in different ways and adding plenty of fun flavors like smoked paprika. This recipe is amazing because it combines the heartiness of macaroni and cheese with the juicy flavors of beef.
My husband and kids really enjoyed this casserole and at first I was uncertain if they would or not because of the addition of the hamburger.
You see, my family members are some serious mac and cheese eaters and they don’t like their dish to be tampered with. Needless to say, they didn’t mind this recipe at all!
Ingredients
1 lb Barilla elbow macaroni
1 Tbsp Bertolli olive oil
1 yellow onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 lb ground beef
2 Tbsp Gold Medal all-purpose flour
15 oz. can Hunt’s crushed tomatoes
2 tsp McCormick chili powder
1 tsp Morton salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp McCormick paprika
1/2 cup Daisy sour cream
2 Tbsp TruMoo milk
3 cups grated Kraft sharp cheddar cheese, divided
1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350F.
Cook the elbow macaroni according to package directions.
In a large non-stick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for about 5 minutes, until tender. Add in the garlic and cook for a minute longer.
Stir in the ground beef, chili powder, salt and black pepper and cook until the meat has browned. Drain any excess fat from the pan.
Sprinkle 2 tablespoons flour over the meat and cook for a minute or two.
Add in the tomatoes and simmer on low. The sauce will start to thicken a bit as it cooks.
To the meat mixture add in the cooked and drained macaroni, 1/2 cup sour cream, 2 tablespoons milk and 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese.
Pour the mixture into a large casserole dish. Top with remaining cheese and sprinkle 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs on top.
Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Sprinkle the casserole with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy!

Quick Tip: I like to serve this casserole with a tossed green salad.
