05 - Salt and pepper as needed

07 - 1 lb ground beef
08 - 1 cup milk

02 - Put olive oil in a big pot on medium heat. Toss in onions and ground beef, stirring until the beef is fully cooked and onions are tender. Remove the extra fat.
03 - Turn off the heat. Mix in the shredded cheddar until it's completely melted and smooth.
04 - Add a bit of salt and pepper to suit your taste. Serve nice and warm.

02 - If you'd rather, swap in ground turkey or chicken for the beef.
03 - Feel free to use more or less cheddar based on how cheesy you like it.
