How to Make Hearty Macaroni And Beef
- Heat a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
- Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the garlic powder, black pepper, salt, and Italian seasoning. Cook for 1 minute more.
- Add the crushed tomatoes, beef broth, water, carrots, and celery. Bring to a simmer.
- Stir in the elbow macaroni.
- Cover the pot, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the macaroni is cooked through and the liquid is absorbed. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Add a little more water if needed to prevent burning.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve hot.
