How to Make Skillet Macaroni And Ground Beef
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound of ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and no longer pink (about 5-7 minutes).
- Remove the cooked beef from the skillet and set aside. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper to the skillet. Cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add 1 cup elbow macaroni to the skillet. Stir to coat with the beef fat; add 1-2 tablespoons olive oil if needed to prevent sticking. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Return the cooked beef to the skillet. Add 28 ounces (one 28 ounce can) of Hunt's tomato sauce (or your favorite brand), 1 cup of water, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the macaroni is cooked through and the sauce has thickened. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
