Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the gluten-free elbow macaroni according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until it is browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Add the nutritional yeast to the skillet and stir well to combine, ensuring a creamy texture throughout the dish.
