Ingredients
- 1.25 lb ground beef
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion
- 3 garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp tomato paste

- 1 tbsp yellow mustard

How to cook it
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high and brown the ground beef with the onion and garlic, about 7 minutes.
- Drain excess fat, then stir in the tomato paste, ketchup, mustard, and paprika for 1 minute.
- Add the dry macaroni, broth, milk, salt, and pepper and bring to a simmer.
- Cover and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender and the sauce clings, about 14 minutes.
