Mix all the ingredients in a microwavable 9x9 dish or a large casserole dish.
½ to ¾ pound ground beef, 1 ¾ cups uncooked elbow macaroni, 1 ¾ cups beef broth, 1 8 ounce can tomato sauce, ¼-1/3 cup ketchup, Chili powder to taste, Onion flakes to taste
Microwave (uncovered) for 8 minutes on high.
Stir really well and microwave on high for another 8-10 minutes (time may vary a bit, depending on your microwave) until liquid is mostly absorbed and the macaroni is soft.
Let sit for 5-10 minutes before serving and cover with your favorite cheese (slices of American or shredded cheddar work well).
