How to Make Ground Beef And Macaroni Medley

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add 1 pound of ground beef and crumble, cooking until browned and no longer pink (about 5-7 minutes). Drain any excess grease.
  3. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
  4. Stir in 1 (28 ounce) can of crushed tomatoes (with their juices), 1 cup of elbow macaroni, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon of dried basil, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
  5. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low.
  6. Add 1 (16 ounce) bag of frozen mixed vegetables.
  7. Cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the macaroni is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
  8. Season with salt to taste.
  9. Serve hot, topped with grated Parmesan cheese, sliced black olives, and dill pickle slices (optional).
