Servings: 6
Ingredients:
For the Cheese Sauce:
- 1 1/4 cups heavy whipping cream
- 2 ounces cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 10 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded (or your favorite cheese)
For the Cheeseburger Macaroni:
- 1 package Great Low Carb Bread Co. Elbow Macaroni

- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
Instructions:
For the Cheese Sauce:
- Add heavy cream, cream cheese, and butter to a saucepan over medium heat and stir until melted.
- Whisk in Dijon mustard and pepper until incorporated.
- Remove saucepan from heat and add shredded cheese. Stir until combined.
For the Cheeseburger Macaroni:
- Prepare macaroni pasta per instructions. I recommend seasoning the water with salt for additional flavor for the pasta noodles.
- While the pasta is cooking, season the beef with onion powder, garlic powder, salt & pepper, and brown until no longer pink.
- Once the pasta has finished cooking (about 10 minutes), drain completely. Combine cooked beef and cheese sauce with the pasta and stir to combine. Serve immediately.
