Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium, diced yellow onion
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 1 medium, diced green bell pepper
• 28 ounces canned diced tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 3 cups beef broth
• 2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

In a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon as it cooks, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess grease if necessary.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the diced green bell pepper and cook for 2-3 more minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the canned diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and beef broth. Mix well to combine.

Step 6

Add the uncooked elbow macaroni, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir everything together.

Step 7

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet and simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is cooked to al dente.

Step 8

Once the pasta is cooked, remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and evenly distributed.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot. Enjoy!
