8 servings

  • 1 (16 ounce) package elbow macaroni
  • 1.5 pounds ground beef
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can canned diced tomatoes
  • 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
  • 1 (1.3 ounce) envelope sloppy joe seasoning
  • 0.25 cup butter
  • 1 small onion, minced
  • 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground dry mustard
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 3 cups half-and-half
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 4 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add macaroni and cook until tender yet firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a large casserole dish.
  • Cook ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until evenly browned. Drain grease. Mix in diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and Sloppy Joe seasoning. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • While the Sloppy Joe mixture is cooking, melt butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Stir in onion and cook until tender. Mix in flour, mustard, salt, and pepper. In a bowl, mix the half-and-half and Worcestershire sauce together. Gradually whisk half-and-half mixture into the pot. Bring to a boil and cook until slightly thickened, about 1 minute.
  • Remove from the heat and mix in 3 cups Cheddar. Stir cooked macaroni into the pot until evenly coated with sauce. Transfer to the casserole dish. Layer Sloppy Joe mixture over top and sprinkle with remaining Cheddar.
  • Cover and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake until bubbly, about 10 more minutes.
