INSTRUCTIONS:
- In a large skillet or pot, brown the ground beef over medium heat, breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks. Drain any excess grease from the skillet.
- Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the cooked ground beef. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the onion is softened and translucent.
- Stir in the uncooked macaroni or pasta, beef broth, milk, diced tomatoes (with their juices), and tomato paste. Mix well to combine.
- Add the paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and pepper to the skillet, stirring to evenly distribute the seasonings throughout the mixture.

- Once the pasta is cooked, remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and creamy.
