Ingredients:
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- ½ cup ketchup
- 2 large cans of chopped or diced tomatoes
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
- 2 tsp onion powder
- 3 tsp minced garlic
- 7 ¼ cups of beef broth
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp Italian Seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups dry macaroni pasta
- Cheese for garnish, if desired
Preparation:
FIRST STEP: In a large Dutch oven or stock pot, add the ground beef, garlic, and onion powder. Cook over medium heat until the beef is no longer pink, stirring occasionally to break up the meat.
SECOND STEP: Stir in the beef broth, diced tomatoes, Worcestershire Sauce, brown sugar, Italian seasoning, and ketchup. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
THIRD STEP: Add the dry macaroni pasta to the pot and continue cooking for an additional 15 minutes, or until the pasta is tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
FOURTH STEP: Once the soup is ready, ladle it into bowls and top with your favorite shredded cheese for an extra layer of flavor and creaminess. Serve hot and enjoy this comforting beef and macaroni soup!
