🥘 Ingredients

13 items

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni
• 1 15-ounce can diced tomatoes (with juice)
• 1 8-ounce can tomato sauce
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)

📝 Instructions

7 steps

1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, crumble and cook the ground beef until browned. Drain any excess fat if necessary.

2. Add the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.

3. Stir in the uncooked elbow macaroni, diced tomatoes with their juice, tomato sauce, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well to combine.

4. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the macaroni is tender and the liquid is mostly absorbed.

5. Once the pasta is cooked, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top. Cover the skillet again and let it sit for 2-3 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt.

6. Remove the skillet from heat. If desired, garnish the dish with chopped parsley before serving.

7. Serve warm and enjoy your Easy Skillet Hamburger and Macaroni Dinner!
