Course: Main Course
Servings: 6 people

Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs. ground beef {I used 93% lean}
  • 8 oz. macaroni pasta
  • 6 slices bacon {cooked}
  • 1 1/2 cups beef broth
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 tsp steak seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 tbsp ketchup
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese {shredded}
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese {shredded}

Toppings

  • 1 cup lettuce {shredded}
  • 1/3 cup tomatoes {diced}
  • 1/4 medium onion {diced}
  • 6 mini kosher dill pickles {sliced}

Instructions

  • Brown ground beef in a 12 inch skillet with tall sides. Remove any fat.
  • While the beef is browning, combine beef broth, water, steak seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup and cornstarch. Add mixture to the ground beef and stir to combine. Bring to a boil.
  • Once the mixture is boiling, add macaroni and stir. Cover and allow the macaroni to cook in the mixture for 8-9 minutes or until the macaroni is cooked through.
  • Remove lid and stir in all but one piece of sliced bacon {reserve the last piece for the toppings}. Top with cheese and cover until the cheese is completely melted {2-3 minutes}.
  • To serve, add toppings {including last piece of bacon} to the top of the skillet dinner. Refrigerate leftovers without toppings for up to 4 days.
