Description
One Pot Beefaroni is a comforting and flavorful dish that combines ground beef, pasta, and a rich tomato-based sauce, all cooked together in a single pot for minimal cleanup.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cup uncooked elbow macaroni
- 3 cup beef broth
- 24 ounce tomato sauce
- 2 tablespoon tomato paste
- 2 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
1. 1. Begin by heating a large pot or deep skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and diced onion, cooking until the beef is browned and the onion is softened. Drain any excess grease, then stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
2. 2. To the cooked beef and onions, add the tomato sauce, tomato paste, ketchup, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything together until well combined.
3. 3. Next, pour in the uncooked macaroni and the beef broth. Stir well to ensure the pasta is fully submerged. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then cover and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender.
4. 4. Once the pasta is cooked through, stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until it melts and creates a creamy texture throughout the dish.
5. 5. Serve the One Pot Beefaroni warm, garnished with additional cheese or your favorite toppings.
Notes
Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven for even heat distribution.
Be careful not to overcook the pasta; test for doneness at the 12-minute mark.
Experiment with different cheese varieties for customized flavor.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or frozen for 2-3 months.
