Homemade beefaroni is a hearty, savory one-skillet meal that takes only minutes to prep and cook!
Ingredients :
1 pound lean ground beef
28 ounces crushed tomatoes 1 can
2 ½ cups beef broth up to 3 cups
8 ounces ziti or large elbow macaroni
3 tablespoons tomato paste
2 ounces cream cheese
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
1 ½ teaspoons onion powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
Directions :
In a 12-inch saucepan over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until no pink remains. Drain excess grease.
Add the crushed tomatoes, 2 cups of beef broth, macaroni, cream cheese, tomato paste, sugar, onion powder, and garlic powder.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer. Cook for 14-20 minutes*, stirring occasionally. Add more broth as needed to keep it saucy.
Once the pasta is tender, remove from the heat and stir in the cheese. Cover and rest for 5 to 7 minutes. Taste and season with salt & pepper.
