Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup elbow macaroni or your favorite pasta
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Cook the beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat.
- Sauté the vegetables: Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
- Add the liquids and pasta: Stir in the diced tomatoes (with their juices), beef broth, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then add the pasta.
- Cook the pasta: Cover the skillet and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the pasta is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, stirring occasionally.
- Add cheese: Once the pasta is cooked, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top. Cover the skillet again for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve the Beef Skillet Supper hot.
