Instructions

  1. Cook the large elbow pasta according to the directions on the bag and drain (do not rinse).
  2. Add the bacon to a cast iron skillet, cook until crisp and remove from the pan and crumble.
  3. 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.
  4. Remove the beef (you can leave the fat) and add the onions and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring well.
  5. Mix the beef broth and the cornstarch until it is dissolved.
  6. Add the beef, tomato sauce, brown sugar, beef broth mixture, salt, and black pepper into the pan.
  7. 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.
