Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 12 ounces smoked sausage
• 1 large onion
• 1 large bell pepper
• 4 cloves garlic
• 2 teaspoons paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 28 ounces canned diced tomatoes
• 3 cups beef broth
• 2 cups uncooked macaroni
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by finely dicing the onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Slice the smoked sausage into thin rounds and set all aside.

Step 2

In a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven, heat a drizzle of oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Drain excess fat if necessary.

Step 3

Push the beef to one side of the skillet. Add the diced onion, bell pepper, and garlic to the empty space. Sauté for 5-6 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and the garlic is fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the smoked sausage and sprinkle with paprika and cumin. Let cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow the spices to bloom.

Step 5

Pour in the canned diced tomatoes (with their juice) and beef broth. Stir well to combine, scraping up any bits from the bottom of the pan for extra flavor.

Step 6

Add the Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cook uncovered for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 7

Stir in the uncooked macaroni and cover the skillet. Simmer for another 10-12 minutes, or until the pasta is tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the sour cream until the dish is creamy and well combined.

Step 9

Sprinkle with fresh parsley for a bright and herby finish. Serve hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
