Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/4 lb 90% lean ground beef
  • 1 large yellow onion diced
  • 1 green bell pepper diced
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tbsp sweet paprika
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 can 28 oz crushed tomatoes
  • 2 1/2 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • 1/2 cup water reserved
  • 10 oz dry elbow macaroni
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1/2 tsp fine salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Method
 

  1. Brown beef, onion, and green pepper in 6-quart Dutch oven over medium-high 9 minutes, crumbling beef finely, to 160°F. Drain excess fat.
  2. Stir in garlic, paprika, and oregano 30 seconds. Add tomatoes, broth, Worcestershire, bay, salt, and pepper; simmer uncovered 8 minutes.
  3. Add macaroni; steadily simmer uncovered 11 to 14 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes.
  4. Add reserved water gradually if drying before elbows tender. Keep sauce loose enough to flow around pasta.
  5. Remove from heat; discard bay. Rest 3 minutes; divide among 6 bowls.
