Description
A delicious and comforting one-pot creamy beef and macaroni dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound Ground Beef
- 1 cup Elbow Macaroni
- 15 ounces Tomato Sauce
- 1 cup Beef Broth
- 1 tablespoon Italian Seasoning
- 2 cups Shredded Cheese
- 1/2 cup Grated Parmesan
- 1/4 cup Fresh Parsley or Basil
Instructions
- Start by heating a large pot over medium heat. Add the ground beef, diced onion, and minced garlic, cooking until the beef is browned and the onions turn translucent, typically about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the tomato sauce, beef broth, and Italian seasoning. Bring this mixture to a gentle boil.
- Toss in the elbow macaroni, ensuring it’s fully submerged in the sauce. Reduce the heat and cover the pot. Let it simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally until the pasta is tender but al dente.
- Once the pasta is cooked, fold in the shredded cheese until it’s beautifully melted and creamy.
- Finally, garnish your dish with freshly chopped parsley or basil and a sprinkle of Parmesan before serving.
