How to Make Beef And Mac Skillet
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound of ground beef and 1 medium onion, chopped. Brown the beef, breaking it up with a spoon, until cooked through (about 5-7 minutes).
- Drain off any excess grease from the skillet.
- Stir in one (14.5 ounce) can of diced tomatoes (undrained), 1 cup of beef broth, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and 2 cups of elbow macaroni.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the macaroni is tender, stirring occasionally.
- During the last 5 minutes of cooking, stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and cover the skillet to allow the cheese to melt.
- Serve immediately and enjoy! Garnish with fresh parsley (optional).
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
