Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium, diced onion
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 1 medium, diced green bell pepper
- 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes
- 8 ounces tomato sauce
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 cups, uncooked elbow macaroni
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup, optional shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
In a large pot or deep skillet, heat over medium-high heat and add the ground beef. Cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain the excess grease if necessary.
Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and diced green bell pepper to the pot. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the canned diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, dried Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add the uncooked elbow macaroni to the pot and stir well to combine. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure the pasta cooks evenly and doesn’t stick to the bottom.
Check the macaroni for tenderness. If cooked and the mixture is thickened to your liking, remove the pot from heat. If needed, add a little more beef broth or water to adjust the consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if necessary.
If desired, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the slum gullion and cover for a minute to let the cheese melt before serving.
Serve hot in bowls and enjoy this comforting, budget-friendly meal!
