  4. Stir in the elbow macaroni and cook according to package instructions, about 7-10 minutes, until the macaroni is al dente.
  5. Once the macaroni is cooked, reduce the heat to low and slowly add the heavy cream, stirring gently to combine.
  6. Remove the pot from heat, then stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and well incorporated.
  7. Add Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to taste.
  8. Ladle soup into bowls, and garnish with chopped parsley if desired.

Notes

Substitutions for ground beef can include ground chicken or turkey, or plant-based options for a vegetarian version. For best texture, avoid overcooking the macaroni and add cheese only after removing from the heat.
