Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Amount |

How To Make One-Pot Macaroni Cheeseburger Soup:
- Step 1: Brown the Ground Beef and Onion: In a large pot, brown 1 lb. of ground beef and 1 diced medium onion over medium heat. Stir occasionally. Once the beef is fully browned and the onions have softened, drain the excess fat from the pot.
- Step 2: Add Beef Broth and Bring to a Boil: Pour in 2 cups of beef broth and increase the heat to bring the mixture to a boil.
- Step 3: Stir in the Elbow Macaroni: Add 2 cups of elbow macaroni to the boiling broth. Stir well and cook the macaroni for 7-8 minutes, or until it reaches an al dente texture. Stir the soup occasionally to prevent the pasta from sticking.
- Step 4: Lower the Heat and Add Milk and Cheese: Once the macaroni is cooked, reduce the heat to low. Slowly pour in 1 cup of milk, stirring constantly. Next, add 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, stirring until the cheese is fully melted and incorporated into the soup.
- Step 5: Season and Serve: Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot. Garnish with additional shredded cheese or chopped parsley if desired.
