Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 cups Macaroni pasta, uncooked
• 15 ounces Canned diced tomatoes
• 15 ounces Canned tomato sauce
• 2 cups Beef broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Drain off any excess grease and transfer the beef to the crock pot.

Step 2

In the same skillet, sauté the diced onion until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute. Transfer the onion and garlic mixture to the crock pot.

Step 3

Add the uncooked macaroni pasta, canned diced tomatoes (with juice), tomato sauce, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, dried basil, salt, and black pepper to the crock pot. Stir everything together until evenly combined.

Step 4

Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low heat for 4 hours or on high heat for 2 hours. Stir once halfway through cooking to ensure the pasta cooks evenly.

Step 5

During the last 10 minutes of cooking, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole. Cover and allow the cheese to melt completely.

Step 6

Once the cheese has melted, turn off the crock pot. Let the casserole sit for 5-10 minutes to thicken slightly.

Step 7

Serve warm, optionally garnished with fresh parsley for added color and flavor. Enjoy!
