Instructions:

Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat, then drain any excess fat.

Add the boiling water and macaroni noodles to the skillet, stirring well.

Cover and let it simmer for 10-12 minutes until the macaroni is cooked, stirring occasionally.

In a separate bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in the milk.

Pour this milk mixture into the skillet, adding the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and mustard powder. Stir to combine.

Allow the sauce to cook over medium-low heat for 5-7 minutes, or until it thickens.

Mix in the grated cheddar cheese until it melts into the sauce.

Season with salt and pepper to your liking.

Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving.
