Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (15-ounce) can tomato sauce
- 1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes (with juice)
- 2 cups elbow macaroni
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups beef broth or water
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- In a large skillet or pot, brown the ground beef over medium heat until no longer pink. Drain any excess fat.
- Add the diced onion and garlic to the skillet. Cook until softened, about 3–4 minutes.
- Stir in the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
- Add the elbow macaroni and beef broth. Stir to combine.
- Cover and simmer over low heat for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is cooked and most of the liquid is absorbed.
- Remove from heat and sprinkle shredded cheese on top if desired. Cover for a few minutes to let the cheese melt.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- Use ground turkey or chicken as a lighter alternative to beef.
- Substitute cheddar with mozzarella or Parmesan for a different flavor.
- Add chopped bell peppers or mushrooms for extra veggies.
