  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 14.5 oz. Italian style diced tomatoes
  • 16 oz. tomato sauce
  • 1-1/2 cups dry elbow macaroni uncooked

Seasonings

  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

  • chopped fresh parsley optional for serving

Instructions

  • In a large skillet, combine 1lb of lean ground beef, 1/2 cup of chopped green pepper, 1/2 cup of chopped onion, and 1 tablespoon of minced garlic. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently until the beef is browned and the vegetables are tender. Drain any excess grease if necessary.
  • Stir in 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon of ground black pepper, and 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce.

  • Cover the skillet and bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer. Stir occasionally, and cook until the macaroni is tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the top with shredded mozzarella cheese. Cover and let it stand for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese has melted beautifully. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and grated Parmesan cheese if desired, and serve warm.
