Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1 ½ cups chopped yellow onion
1 green bell pepper chopped
1 red bell pepper chopped
3 cloves garlic minced
2 cups low sodium beef broth
30 ounces canned diced tomatoes
15 ounces canned tomato sauce
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt or to taste
¼ teaspoon black pepper or to taste
2 cups elbow macaroni pasta uncooked, 9 ounces by weight
1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
chopped fresh parsley for serving

Instructions

Heat a Dutch oven or other heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, crumbling, until browned. Drain grease as needed.
Add the onion and bell pepper to the pot. Cook until softened, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes.
Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds.
Stir in the beef broth, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
Add the pasta to the pot and stir it in. Bring to a simmer then reduce the heat to keep the pot at a simmer and cover the pot. Cook, stirring every few minutes to keep the pasta from sticking to the bottom of the pot, until pasta is cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Turn off the heat.
Stir in the shredded cheese. Serve, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.
