Ingredients:

  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Slap Ya Mama seasoning (or a similar Cajun seasoning)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 small can tomato sauce (about 8 ounces)
  • 2 cups macaroni noodles
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar works well)
  • 1 quart chicken broth

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Ingredients:

    • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
    • Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent and slightly browned, about 5 minutes.
    • Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  2. Cook the Beef:

    • Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef to the skillet.
    • Break the beef apart with a spatula and cook until it’s browned and no longer pink, about 8-10 minutes.
    • Season the beef with salt, black pepper, Slap Ya Mama seasoning, and garlic powder. Mix well to combine all the flavors.
  3. Add Liquids and Noodles:

    • Pour in the tomato sauce and chicken broth. Stir to combine.
    • Bring the mixture to a boil, then add the macaroni noodles. Stir well.
    • Reduce the heat to a simmer and cover the skillet. Let it cook for about 12-15 minutes, or until the noodles are tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
  4. Add Cheese:

    • Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the shredded cheese until melted and well incorporated.
  5. Serve:

    • Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
    • Serve hot, garnished with extra cheese or fresh herbs if desired.
