Ingredients
2 lbs Ground Beef (80/20 lean)
1 large Yellow Onion, diced
1 large Green Bell Pepper, diced
4 cloves Garlic, minced
3 tablespoons Hungarian Sweet Paprika
2 tablespoons Tomato Paste
1 can (28 oz) Diced Tomatoes
3 cups Beef Broth
2 cups Elbow Macaroni, uncooked
1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
1 teaspoon Dried Thyme
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat a large Dutch oven or a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it into small pieces
- Drain excess fat but leave about a tablespoon in the pan. Add diced onions and bell peppers; sauté for 5-7 minutes until soft. Then add minced garlic and cook for 60 seconds
- Stir in tomato paste and paprika; cook for 2 minutes. Add diced tomatoes, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, oregano, and thyme. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for at least 20 minutes
- Add uncooked elbow macaroni, ensuring it is submerged. Cover and cook for another 10-12 minutes or until pasta is al dente. Adjust consistency with additional beef broth if necessary
- Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Let it sit for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired
Notes
Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
This dish can be made in advance; flavors improve overnight.
Consider using a slow cooker by initially browning beef and sautéing vegetables, then cooking on low for 6-7 hours.
