Skillet Macaroni and Ground Beef

Submitted by MasakoHI

"Easy one pan dish that takes about 25 minutes to cook. Original recipe was taken off a Hunt's Tomato Sauce label. Almost like a hamburger helper dish but this one is made from scratch and not from a box."

 

• Ready In: 55mins
• Ingredients: 10
• Serves: 6

ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 lbs ground beef
• 1⁄2 cup onion, minced
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1⁄2 lb elbow macaroni, uncooked
• 1⁄2 cup green pepper, chopped
• 2 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
• 1 cup water
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper
• 1 - 1 1⁄2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

directions

1. Brown beef in oil in large skillet until it loses its redness.
2. Remove from skillet and cook onion, macaroni and green pepper in meat fat until macaroni is yellow. If meat fat is not sufficient to prevent sticking, add a tablespoon or two of oil.
3. Return meat to skillet along with tomato sauce, water, salt, pepper and Worcestershire sauce.
4. Cover and simmer 25 minutes or until macaroni is cooked to suit your taste.

I've made this recipe for over 40 years, since I found it on a Hunts tomato sauce can. I did make one change, I did not like the taste of the starch caused by cooking the macaroni in with the other ingredients so I boil my elbow noodles separately and then add them at the end. Great dish!
