Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
- 4 cups (32 ounces) beef broth
- 1 cup elbow macaroni, uncooked
- 1/2 cup evaporated milk
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Optional: Shredded cheddar cheese for topping
Instructions
- 1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
- 2. Add the chopped onion to the pot with the ground beef and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 3. Pour in the crushed tomatoes and beef broth. Stir to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
- 4. Add the uncooked elbow macaroni, dried basil, and dried oregano to the pot. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- 5. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the macaroni is tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- 6. Once the macaroni is cooked, stir in the evaporated milk. Heat through gently for a few minutes, but do not boil after adding the milk.
- 7. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
Notes
Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. To reheat, gently warm the soup on the stovetop over low heat, stirring frequently, until heated through. You may need to add a splash of broth or water if the soup has become too thick. Microwave reheats are also possible; heat in intervals, stirring between each, until desired temperature is reached.
