Instructions
- Cook the large elbow pasta according to the directions on the bag and drain (do not rinse).
- Add the bacon to a cast iron skillet, cook until crisp and remove from the pan and crumble.
- Add the ground beef to a large cast iron skillet (this browns very well) and brown until a deep brown crust appears before breaking the beef apart.
- Remove the beef (you can leave the fat) and add the onions and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring well.
- Mix the beef broth and the cornstarch until it is dissolved.
- Add the beef, tomato sauce, brown sugar, beef broth mixture, salt, and black pepper into the pan.
- Cook until the mixture is only slightly liquidy (about 75% of the mixture is above liquid), 3-5 minutes before adding the pasta and bacon back into the pan and mixing well.
