Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
1 small onion, chopped (or 1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder)
1 clove garlic, minced (or 1 teaspoon garlic powder)
1 (.87- to 1.0-ounce) packet brown gravy mix
1 (10.5-ounce) can condensed cheddar cheese soup
3 cups water or beef broth
2 cups uncooked macaroni
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions
In a large skillet, brown ground beef and onions. Once completely cooked, drain excess grease and return skillet, with the meat, to the heat. Add garlic and sauté 1 to 2 minutes or until garlic is fragrant. Add brown gravy mix, cheddar cheese soup and water or broth. Mix thoroughly to combine. Add uncooked pasta to pan and stir well. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cover. Cook 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the pasta is cooked to your liking. Stir in shredded cheddar cheese until melted. Serve immediately.

Stacey’s Recipe Note:
If using onion and garlic powder instead of fresh, add those just before adding pasta to the skillet.
