One pot homemade hamburger helper

I try very hard to make healthier dinners for my family - this was not one of them. But I have to say this was a 5-star meal from my family. This Homemade Hamburger Helper recipe is from The Pioneer Woman and can be found HERE. This is such a comfort food and we had leftovers for days. We eliminated bacon, replaced the onion with onion powder and garlic with garlic powder, eliminated the hot sauce, eliminated salt, and eliminated the cheese slices. Super good, 5-Stars and would make again.

Ingredients:
Ground Beef
1 tbsp onion powder
1 tbsp garlic powder
1.5 cups beef broth
1 15oz can tomato sauce
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 tbsp paprika
1 tsp black pepper
12oz elbow macaroni
6oz shredded cheddar cheese

Directions:
In a large skillet on the stove, cook the ground beef, onion powder, and garlic powder for 5-7 minutes, until meat is fully cooked. Drain. Add beef broth, tomato sauce, heavy cream, paprika and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium. Add dry pasta and reduce the heat to medium low. Cook, occasionally, about 8 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the cheeses. Top with basil or parsley if you would like. Honestly, I only took one photo because I had no idea that it would be this good. So, here you go! Serve with garlic bread and it makes the PERFECT meal!
