In a large skillet or sautΓ© pan, heat over medium-high heat and add the ground beef. Cook for 5β7 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 2β3 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 12β15 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 1β2 minutes, creating a creamy texture.
Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve hot.
