How to Make Burger Macaroni

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound ground beef, 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper, and 2 cloves minced garlic. Cook, breaking up the beef with a spoon, until the beef is browned and the vegetables are softened (about 8-10 minutes).
  2. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Stir in 1 (15 ounce) can of tomato sauce, 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon paprika.
  4. Add 2 cups cooked elbow macaroni.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the macaroni is tender and the sauce has thickened.
  6. Stir in 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional) before serving.
