Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 large yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups marinara sauce or tomato based pasta sauce
  • 2 cups beef broth or water, more as needed
  • 14 ounces canned diced tomatoes with juices
  • 3 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 green bell pepper diced, optional
  • 1-1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1-1/2 cups elbow macaroni, uncooked
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese or mozzarella cheese, optional

Instructions
 

  • In a large skillet with a lid or a Dutch oven, cook the ground beef, onion, and garlic over medium-high heat until no pink remains. Drain any fat.
  • Add the marinara sauce, broth, diced tomatoes with juices, tomato paste, bell pepper, Italian seasoning, bay leaves, and salt and pepper. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  • Add the elbow macaroni, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Uncover and simmer for an additional 5 to 10 minutes or until the pasta is tender.
  • Remove & discard the bay leaf. Top with cheese if using, and replace the lid. Let rest for about 5 minutes or until the pasta has thickened and the cheese is melted.
