View original recipe on recipetineats.comHeat oil in a dutch oven or large deep skillet over medium high heat.
Add onion and garlic, cook 1 minute.
Add celery and carrot, cook 3 minutes until soft.
Increase heat to high and add beef. Cook, breaking it up as you go, until no longer pink - 3 minutes.
Add remaining ingredients EXCEPT cheese. Stir to combine, add macaroni, then turn down to medium or medium low so it's simmering gently.
Cover, cook 8 minutes. Pasta should be just about cooked, and still nice and saucy.
Add cheddar cheese, stir. Top with mozzarella cheese.
Cover with lid, cook for a further 2 minutes.
Remove from stove. The pasta should now be cooked - tender but firm, not mushy, slick with sauce, not dried out.
Serve immediately, garnished with green onions, if using.
