Equipment
- Large Pot
- Colander
- Large Skillet:
- Wooden Spoon:
- Measuring Cups
- Can Opener
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground Beef
- 2 cups Elbow Macaroni
- 15 ounces Tomato Sauce
- 1 tablespoon Tomato Paste
- 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1/2 cup Water
Instructions
Boil the Pasta
- Fill a large pot with water and salt. Bring the water to a full boil. Add your macaroni and cook until it is soft. Drain the water and set the pasta aside.
Brown the Beef
- Place your skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef to the hot pan. Break the meat into small pieces with a spoon. Cook until the meat is no longer pink.
Drain the Grease
- Tilt the pan to see the extra fat. Use a spoon to remove the oily grease. This makes the meal much healthier and less oily.
Mix the Sauce
- Add tomato sauce and tomato paste to the beef. Stir in the onion powder and garlic powder. Add the sugar, salt, and pepper for taste.
Simmer the Mixture
- Turn the heat down to a low setting. Let the sauce bubble slowly for ten minutes. This helps the flavors mix together very well.
Combine Everything
- Add the cooked pasta into the beef sauce skillet. Toss everything together until the pasta is red. Heat it for two more minutes before serving.
Notes
➡️ Use lean ground beef to avoid a greasy sauce.
➡️ Do not overcook the pasta or it gets mushy.
➡️ Add a splash of milk for a creamier sauce.
➡️ Taste the sauce before adding the pasta for salt.
➡️ Use elbow macaroni for the most authentic look.
➡️ Fresh garlic makes the flavor even more bold.
