Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces Elbow Macaroni
  • 1 pound Ground Beef
  • 10 ounces Diced Tomatoes with Green Chilies (Rotel)
  • 8 ounces Cream Cheese
  • 1 cup Beef Broth
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 2 cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Cilantro or Parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add elbow macaroni and cook for 7-8 minutes until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In the same pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  3. Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper into the browned beef. Stir and cook for an additional minute.
  4. Add diced tomatoes with green chilies, cream cheese, and beef broth. Stir until cream cheese is melted and sauce is smooth, about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Return cooked pasta to the pot and add cheddar cheese, stirring to combine. Cook for 2-3 minutes until cheese is melted.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with cilantro or parsley.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
  • Freeze portions for up to 2 months in freezer-safe containers.
  • Reheat gently on the stovetop or microwave, adding a splash of beef broth or water to restore creaminess.
