Cook

Step 1. Heat Olive Oil in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add Ground Beef and Onion, breaking up the meat, until the beef is browned and the onion softens, about 8 minutes.
Step 2. Stir in Tomato Paste and cook over medium heat until it darkens slightly, about 1 minute.
Step 3. Pour in Beef Stock and Milk, scraping the pan. Stir in Mustard, Ketchup and Salt, then bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Step 4. Stir in Macaroni. Simmer uncovered over medium-low heat, stirring often, until the pasta is tender and the beef has no pink inside, about 12 minutes. Add a splash of water if the pan dries out.

Finish & serve

Step 5. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in Cheddar Cheese until melted. Let stand until the sauce thickens slightly, about 2 minutes.
Step 6. Divide the pasta among bowls and top with Pickles.

Tips

Good to know

Ground beef is safely cooked when it reaches 160°F on an instant-read thermometer.

Leftovers

Refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days and reheat with a splash of water to loosen the sauce.

Swap it

Use ground turkey instead of beef; cook it to 165°F.
