Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 medium bell pepper, diced
• 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes
• 2 cups beef broth
• 2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni pasta
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and crumbled, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.

Step 2

Add the diced onion, garlic, and bell pepper to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the canned diced tomatoes (with their juice), beef broth, uncooked elbow macaroni, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.

Step 4

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 12-15 minutes, or until the pasta is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.

Step 5

Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Cover the skillet again and let it sit for 2-3 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt.

Step 6

Garnish the dish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve hot. Enjoy your delicious Hamburger Skillet Meal!
