Step 1

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is sizzling hot, about 1 minute. Add ground beef and cook until browned on all sides, about 6-8 minutes. Break up beef into small pieces to help even browning.

Step 2

Add onion and garlic and sauté until tender, about 2 minutes.

Step 3

Add tomato paste and mix until well incorporated and season with salt, pepper and paprika.

Step 4

Add milk, beef broth, and uncooked macaroni. Stir well and bring to a boil. Cover the lid and simmer over medium heat for 8-10 minutes until the pasta is tender. Make sure to stir occasionally to prevent the pasta from sticking to the bottom of the pan.

Step 5

Add cheddar cheese and stir until melted and well combined. Sprinkle parsley on top and serve immediately.
