Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion, diced
- 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 14.5-ounce cans diced tomatoes (with juice)
- 1 15-ounce can tomato sauce
- 3 cups beef broth
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups elbow macaroni, uncooked
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
Add the diced onions and green bell pepper to the pot. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the diced tomatoes (with their juice), tomato sauce, beef broth, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer uncovered for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Stir in the elbow macaroni, ensuring it is fully submerged in the liquid. Cover the pot and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender.
Remove the pot from heat. Let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
Serve warm, optionally topped with shredded cheddar cheese and chopped fresh parsley for garnish.
