Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni
- 1 15-ounce can diced tomatoes (with juice)
- 1 8-ounce can tomato sauce
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, crumble and cook the ground beef until browned. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
Step 2
Add the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 3
Stir in the uncooked elbow macaroni, diced tomatoes with their juice, tomato sauce, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well to combine.
Step 4
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the macaroni is tender and the liquid is mostly absorbed.
Step 5
Once the pasta is cooked, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top. Cover the skillet again and let it sit for 2-3 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt.
Step 6
Remove the skillet from heat. If desired, garnish the dish with chopped parsley before serving.
Step 7
Serve warm and enjoy your Easy Skillet Hamburger and Macaroni Dinner!
