Comfort food. Made from scratch. All in one pan. What more can you ask for!? This easy macaroni dish is a joy to eat and clean up! This is definitely one of those recipes you can change up as you/your family desires. Want more veggies? Go ahead and add more peppers, onions, or other veggies. Use gluten free noodles or even zoodles. Need to cook for a crowd? Easily add extra of what you have on hand. This is a very versatile recipe!
Ingredients
- 1 - 1.5 pound ground meat
- .5 cup onion, chopped
- 15oz tomato sauce (or 2 8oz cans will work)
- 1 cup water (more as needed)
- 1 package (7 ounces) macaroni noodles (could use gluten free noodles)
- 1 chopped bell pepper (any color)
- 3 TBS Nothin’ Funky Just Ranch Mix
- 1 TBS Worcestershire sauce
- .5 teaspoon salt
- .25 teaspoon pepper
- sour cream (optional)
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground meat and chopped onion until the meat is no longer pink.
- Drain the meat and return to skillet.
- Stir in the remaining ingredients and bring it all to a boil.
- Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until macaroni is tender, 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally so the noodles don't stick. Add more water if it gets too thick.
