Prep Steps

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Cook the macaroni according to package instructions or until just al dente. Drain and set aside.

Cook the Beef

While the macaroni cooks, heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef with the onion, garlic, salt, pepper, paprika and cayenne. Break up the beef a bit with a spoon as it cooks. Cook, stirring frequently, until beef is cooked through and onion is soft.

Finish the Sauce

Add the tomato paste; cook until it turns a shade darker and smells toasty.

Add beef broth to the large skillet. Stir to combine and simmer for a few minutes.

Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the cream cheese until smooth.

Turn off the burner then stir in 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese until melted. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Assemble and Bake

Stir in the cooked macaroni and transfer the mixture to a 9x9" (or similar size) baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese over the top.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and beginning to brown.
