Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef browned

Instructions
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook 2 pounds ground beef until it is browned.
- Add to a 6 quart slow cooker.
- Add ½ diced onion, 2 teaspoons minced garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, and 4 cups beef broth to the slow cooker. Stir to combine.
- Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4.
- Fifteen minutes before serving, stir in 16 oz elbow macaroni. It will look very watery, but the pasta will soak it up. Cover and cook for 15 minutes until the pasta reaches the desired tenderness.
- Stir in 3 cups shredded cheddar cheese until melted.

Notes
Buy block cheddar cheese and then hand shred it. It will melt more evenly. You can use any kind of cheese, but I love sharp cheddar cheese in this recipe.
Serve with steamed broccoli for a complete dinner.
