Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey for a lighter option)
2 cups elbow macaroni (uncooked)
2 tbsp olive oil
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cups whole milk
1 tbsp all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions:
1. Cook the elbow macaroni according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef (or ground turkey for a leaner option), breaking it apart as it cooks. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the flour and cook for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in the milk, stirring continuously to prevent lumps.
4. Add the shredded cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy and smooth.
5. Return the cooked macaroni and cheeseburger mixture to the skillet. Stir everything together until well combined and heated through.
6. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley, if desired. Enjoy!
