Made this absolutely DELICIOUS meal last night, so thought I should share it with you all :D

I've tried to put the amounts so everyone can read them, as I had a terrible time trying to figure them out myself (I'm English, and I got the recipe from a site that had only American measurements on it ¬_¬'')

Serves: 3-6, depending on how big you make the serving :P

Ingredients:
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 lb./450-500g ground beef
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 small onion, diced
2 Tbsp all-purpose/plain flour
1 Tbsp chilli powder (use mild or hot, depending on how spicy you want it to be)
½ Tsp smoked paprika
½ Tsp dried oregano
8 oz./250ml can of tomato sauce/passata
2 cups/500ml beef stock. (Alternately, just a couple of bouillon/stock cubes and 500ml of boiling water)
1/2 lbs./250g dry macaroni
4 oz./125g shredded sharp cheddar

How to make:
1. Brown the mince. Drain any excess liquid and return the mince to the pan.
2. Add the onion and garlic, and cook until the onion is softened.
3. Add the flour, and stir constantly while cooking for a further minute or so.
4. Add the chilli powder, paprika, oregano, tomato sauce/passata, and the broth/stock (or stock cubes and water) to the pan and stir it all in together. Make sure it's all mixed together, and that everything is dissolved and nothing is stuck to the bottom of the pan.
5. Add the dry macaroni and stir. Bring to the boil before turning down to a simmer, then cover with a lid. MAKE SURE you stir it every few minutes as it WILL stick to the bottom of the pan.
6. Keep stirred until all the liquid is absorbed (usually around 15 minutes) and the macaroni is soft. If all the liquid is absorbed before the macaroni is cooked fully, add extra water.
7. Once fully cooked, mix in the cheese and serve immediately. (extra cheese topping and garlic bread is optional, but definitely makes the dish better)
