Instructions

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion until the beef is browned and onion is translucent. Drain any excess fat.
In a separate pot, bring salted water to a boil and cook the elbow macaroni according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Add the tomato sauce, milk, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the skillet with the beef. Stir well and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
Stir in the cooked elbow macaroni and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix well until the cheese is melted and everything is evenly coated.
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

For extra richness, use a splash of heavy cream instead of milk. Want to spice it up? Add chili flakes or jalapeños.
