Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium bell pepper, diced
- 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni pasta
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and crumbled, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
Add the diced onion, garlic, and bell pepper to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the canned diced tomatoes (with their juice), beef broth, uncooked elbow macaroni, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 12-15 minutes, or until the pasta is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Cover the skillet again and let it sit for 2-3 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt.
Garnish the dish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve hot. Enjoy your delicious Hamburger Skillet Meal!
