Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium, diced onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 1 15-ounce can diced tomatoes
- 1 15-ounce can tomato sauce
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 cups, uncooked elbow macaroni
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional for garnish) fresh parsley
Instructions
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and beef broth. Mix well to combine.
Add the uncooked elbow macaroni, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir to evenly distribute the seasonings and pasta.
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 pasta is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid.
Once the pasta is cooked, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top. Cover again for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve hot.
