Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium diced onion
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 cup elbow macaroni
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup diced American cheese
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • Worcestershire sauce to taste
  • Paprika (optional)
  • Mustard powder (optional)
  • Chopped pickles (for topping)
  • Diced tomatoes (for topping)
  • Crispy bacon bits (for topping)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot over medium heat, add 1 pound of ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon, for about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  2. Stir in 1 medium diced onion and 2 cloves of minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add 1 cup of elbow macaroni to the pot and stir to combine with the beef and onion mixture.
  4. Pour in 4 cups of beef broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the pasta is al dente.
  5. Reduce the heat to low. Slowly add 1 cup of whole milk and 1 cup of heavy cream, stirring constantly to avoid curdling.
  6. Gradually mix in 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese and 1 cup of diced American cheese until melted and creamy. Stir well to combine.
  7. Season the soup with salt, pepper, and a dash of Worcestershire sauce for that classic cheeseburger flavor. You can also add a pinch of paprika or mustard powder for an extra kick.
  8. Ladle the soup into bowls and top with your favorite cheeseburger toppings like chopped pickles, diced tomatoes, or crispy bacon bits.
