Ingredients
- 2 pounds lean ground beef
- 3-4 cloves of minced garlic
- 1 cup red pepper diced
- one 28 ounces can of diced tomatoes
- 1 can condensed tomato soup
- one 680 ml Can of Tomato Sauce
- 1 1/2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1/2 tablespoon seasoning salt
- 1-2 tablespoons white sugar add until desired sweetness is met
- 2 1/2 cups of dry macaroni
- 2 cups shredded medium or old cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Fry the ground beef in a large stock pot until cooked completely then drain the fat.
- Add in the garlic and cook until browned. Fry up the pepper at this point if using.
- Add in all of the remaining ingredients, except the macaroni. Stir and bring to a low boil.
- Add in the macaroni noodles and stir until mixed through.
- Cover and simmer on low heat for 20-25 minutes, until the macaroni is soft, stirring once in a while to ensure that the macaroni doesn't stick to the bottom of the pot.
- Remove from heat and serve with cheese sprinkled on top.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- The sugar in this is the key to reducing that acidic taste you get when you cook with tomatoes. Sprinkle it in and taste test until it's perfect for you!
