Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 yellow onion, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 lb lean ground beef
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups beef broth
15 oz can tomato sauce
15 oz can crushed tomatoes
1 1/2 cups dry macaroni
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon paprika
1 cup cheddar cheese, grated
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
Add onion, bell pepper, and ground beef. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until beef is browned.
Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
Add beef broth, tomato sauce, crushed tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, bay leaf, and paprika. Stir well and season with salt and pepper.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 15–20 minutes.
Stir in macaroni and increase heat to medium-high. Cook uncovered for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is al dente and sauce thickens.
