6 servings
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
Chef's tipChicken is leaner, so add a little oil and a bit more seasoning. Cook ground chicken fully - to 165°F (74°C). - 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
- 2 cups beef broth
Chef's tipUse the same amount of low-sodium vegetable broth. The dish will taste lighter and less meaty; a mushroom-rich vegetable broth gives the closest beefy flavor. - 1 tbsp worcestershire sauce
- 2 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp italian seasoning
- ½ tsp salt, plus more to taste
- ¼ tsp black pepper, plus more to taste
- 1 ½ cups elbow macaroni, dry
For serving
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until no pink remains and the meat is browned in spots, about 7–8 minutes. Drain off all but about 1 tablespoon of fat.

Add the onion and green bell pepper to the pot and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened and the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
