Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium, diced onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 1 15-ounce can diced tomatoes
- 1 15-ounce can tomato sauce
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 cups, uncooked elbow macaroni
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional for garnish) fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
Step 2
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Step 3
Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and beef broth. Mix well to combine.
Step 4
Add the uncooked elbow macaroni, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir to evenly distribute the seasonings and pasta.
Step 5
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 pasta is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid.
Step 6
Once the pasta is cooked, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top. Cover again for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
Step 7
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve hot.
