Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 large onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
• 2 cups elbow macaroni
• 1 14.5-ounce can canned diced tomatoes
• 1 8-ounce can tomato sauce
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Drain excess fat if needed.

Step 3

Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and diced green bell pepper to the pot. Sauté the vegetables with the beef for 4-5 minutes, or until softened.

Step 4

Stir in the canned diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 5

Once simmering, add the elbow macaroni directly to the pot and stir to combine. Cover and cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender.

Step 6

When the pasta is cooked, stir in the frozen peas and allow the dish to cook for another 2-3 minutes to heat the peas through.

Step 7

Remove the pot from the heat. Let the dish rest for 3-5 minutes to thicken slightly.

Step 8

Serve warm, optionally garnished with shredded cheddar cheese on top for additional creaminess and flavor.
