Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot on the stove over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the onions and cook for 4 minutes. Add the ground beef, cook and crumble until no longer pink.
- Drain any grease from the pot, then add the tomato sauce, paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
- Add the beef broth and turn the heat on the stove up to high heat. Bring the broth to a boil, then add the macaroni noodles. Make sure to press down on the noodles so that they're fully covered in the liquid.
- Reduce the heat on the stove to medium, cover and simmer for 18 minutes.
- Remove the pot from the heat, remove the lid and add the cheddar cheese and optional heavy cream. Stir until the cheese is completely melted, then serve.
Notes
- Use ½ cup less beef broth to make it less saucy.
- Add 4 ounces of cubed cream cheese at the end with the cheddar cheese to make it extra creamy.
- Store homemade hamburger helper leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
