Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 12 ounces smoked sausage
- 1 large onion
- 1 large bell pepper
- 4 cloves garlic
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 28 ounces canned diced tomatoes
- 3 cups beef broth
- 2 cups uncooked macaroni
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Begin by finely dicing the onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Slice the smoked sausage into thin rounds and set all aside.
In a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven, heat a drizzle of oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Push the beef to one side of the skillet. Add the diced onion, bell pepper, and garlic to the empty space. Sauté for 5-6 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and the garlic is fragrant.
Stir in the smoked sausage and sprinkle with paprika and cumin. Let cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow the spices to bloom.
Pour in the canned diced tomatoes (with their juice) and beef broth. Stir well to combine, scraping up any bits from the bottom of the pan for extra flavor.
Add the Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cook uncovered for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Stir in the uncooked macaroni and cover the skillet. Simmer for another 10-12 minutes, or until the pasta is tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the sour cream until the dish is creamy and well combined.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley for a bright and herby finish. Serve hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
