Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef or plant-based ground meat
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes, with juice
- 10.5 ounces canned cream of mushroom soup
- 8 ounces uncooked elbow macaroni
- 2 cups beef or vegetable broth
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or deep skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the ground beef (or plant-based ground meat) and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess grease if necessary.
Stir in the salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, and paprika (if using) to season the meat mixture evenly.
Add the canned diced tomatoes (with juice), cream of mushroom soup, and broth to the pot. Stir until well combined.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then add in the uncooked elbow macaroni. Stir to ensure the pasta is evenly distributed and submerged in the liquid.
Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and let the mixture simmer for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the pasta is tender.
Once the pasta is cooked, remove the pot from heat and stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese until it melts and forms a gooey sauce.
Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top, cover the pot, and let it sit for 3 minutes to allow the cheese to melt.
Serve warm and enjoy your comforting G L O P! Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
