Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium, diced yellow onion
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 2 cups beef broth
- 15 ounces (canned) diced tomatoes
- 8 ounces (canned) tomato sauce
- 2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional for topping)
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions
In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Break it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat and transfer the beef to your crock pot.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the crock pot along with the cooked beef.
Pour in the beef broth, diced tomatoes (with their juice), and tomato sauce.
Stir in the paprika, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything together thoroughly.
Cover the crock pot with a lid and cook on low heat for 3 to 4 hours, allowing the flavors to meld together.
About 40 minutes before serving, stir in the uncooked elbow macaroni. Replace the lid and allow the pasta to cook through, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or pepper if needed.
Serve warm, topped with shredded cheddar cheese and chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
