Heat oil in a casserole dish.

Add chopped white onion and sauté until translucent.

Add and brown 1 pound of ground beef.

Stir in 2 tablespoons of tomato paste and 3-4 tablespoons of ketchup.

Season with garlic powder, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to taste.

Simmer for a few minutes before adding 3 1/2 cups of beef broth.

Bring to a boil and then add 2-3 cups of uncooked macaroni pasta.

Stir to bring back to a boil, then reduce heat while stirring until pasta is tender and has absorbed most of the broth, about 12-15 minutes.

Incorporate 2 cups of shredded orange cheddar cheese.

(Optional) Stir in 1/4 cup of cooking cream.
