Share:
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
- ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- 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.
Notes
- The beef should be a very fine texture, break it up as it cooks.
- This recipe works best with a medium sized pasta like ziti, penne, or large elbow macaroni. Cook the pasta until tender adding additional broth or water as needed. Different varieties of pasta will have different cooking times and may require more or less water.
- The resting time is important as the pasta will continue to soak up the sauce and the sauce will thicken.
- Leftovers can be stored in a covered container for up to 4 days. Reheat on the stove or in the microwave until heated through.
