A delicious fusion of mac and cheese with a rich meat sauce, baked to perfection.
Heat oil in a skillet. Fry onion and garlic for a minute, then add carrot.
Add ground beef and cook until browned. Stir in tomato paste.
Add beef broth and canned tomatoes. Season with oregano, smoked paprika, barbecue spice, chili flakes, salt, and pepper. Cover and simmer until rich.
Boil macaroni until just tender. Drain and stir with a little butter.
For cheese sauce: melt butter, whisk in flour, then add milk and cream. Stir until thickened.
Add about half the cheese mix into the sauce. Stir until smooth. Season with nutmeg, mustard, hot sauce, chicken bouillon, salt, and pepper. Mix in macaroni.
In a baking dish, layer mac and cheese with meat sauce, sprinkling in some of the reserved cheese between layers. Finish with plenty of cheese on top.
Bake at 190 °C for 25–30 minutes, until golden and bubbling.
Rest 10 minutes before serving.
