Easy Ground Beef Macaroni Skillet
Spicy pork sausage meat may be replaced for the ground beef or use half each, I also like to add in a large seeded and chopped jalapeno pepper… this is easy as everything even the pasta is cooked in one skillet and it’s darn good also!
Servings 4
INGREDIENTS:
2-3 tablespoons oil
1 pound ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced (garlic lovers can use more!)
1/2 teaspoon crushed red chili flakes, or to taste
1 package taco seasoning mix (such as Old El Paso)
2 (16 ounce) cans stewed tomatoes with juice
1 (16 ounce) can chicken broth (measure using the empty can from tomatoes)
8 ounces uncooked macaroni pasta
salt and fresh ground black pepper, to taste
3/4 to 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, or to taste
INSTRUCTIONS:—————————————————
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add in the ground beef with oil, onion, garlic and chili flakes until the meat is no longer pink; drain fat then continue to cook until the meat is lightly browned (this may take about 10-12 minutes)
Mix in the taco seasoning.
Add in both cans of stewed tomatoes with juice and the chicken broth; stir until combined.
Add in the dry macaroni;bring to a boil stirring frequently.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Reduce the heat to low.
Simmer uncovered for about 20-25 minutes or until macaroni is tender.
At the end of cooking sprinkle the top with shredded cheddar cheese.
Serve from the skillet.
