Ingredients

The following ingredients have 5 Servings
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 pound lean ground meat ((beef, chicken, or turkey))
  • 6 ounces tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 8 ounces tomato sauce
  • 3 1/2 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • 2 cups dried macaroni noodles
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Instruction

  • Heat a large nonstick deep skillet or dutch oven pan heat the oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil has heated, add in the ground meat and brown, while breaking it into small pieces as it cooks. Once the meat is browned, drain off any fat and return the pan to heat.
  • Add tomato paste and seasonings. Cook over medium heat for 2 minutes to develop flavor. Add in tomato sauce and beef broth, turn the heat to medium-high, and bring the mixture to a boil.
  • Once the mixture is boiling, stir the noodles into the mixture and turn the heat down to medium-low. Simmer, uncovered, for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until noodles cooked through and sauce is absorbed. If needed, add in a bit of additional water or broth if you see the liquid is evaporating before the noodles are fully cooked.
  • Once the noodles are tender, turn off the heat and stir in Worcestershire sauce. Serve immediately.
