Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 2 cups gluten-free beef broth (or chicken broth)
  • 1 cup gluten-free elbow macaroni (or your favorite gluten-free pasta shape)
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • In a large skillet or Dutch oven, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat. Break it up with a spoon as it cooks. Once browned, drain off any excess grease.
  • Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until the onions are softened and translucent.
  • Stir in the diced tomatoes (undrained) and tomato sauce. Make sure to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  • Pour in the gluten-free beef broth (or chicken broth). Add the gluten-free elbow macaroni, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the pasta is cooked through and the sauce has thickened. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until it’s melted and creamy.
  • Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
