Servings: 8 Servings

2 cups elbow macaroni (about 8 oz.)

1 pound ground beef

1 small onion, diced

1 cup bell peppers, any color, seeded and diced

2 garlic cloves, minced

1-3/4 cups beef broth or water or as needed

1 (15 oz.) can tomato sauce

1 (14.5 oz.) can petite diced tomatoes or crushed tomatoes for smoother sauce

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 teaspoon salt, or more or less to taste

1/2 cup cheddar cheese, freshly shredded, optional

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, onion, and bell pepper and cook until beef is no longer pink. Drain any excess fat and return pot to stovetop. Add in garlic and cook for 30 seconds or until fragrant.

Stir in the cheddar cheese just before serving, if desired. Enjoy!
