Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes (with juices)
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni (or other small pasta)
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, green beans)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat over medium-high heat and add the ground beef. Cook for 5–7 minutes, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the cooked beef. Cook for 2–3 minutes until the onion is softened and translucent.
Stir in the diced tomatoes (with their juices), beef broth, uncooked elbow macaroni, frozen mixed vegetables, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika (if using), salt, and black pepper.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet with a lid. Simmer for 12–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese. Allow the cheese to melt for 1–2 minutes, creating a creamy texture.
Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve hot.
