Prep Time5 minutes minutes
Cook Time10 minutes minutes
Servings - 4 servings

Ingredients 

  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • 1 Tbsp minced onion
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 15 oz. can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 Tbsp sweet Hungarian paprika
  • 10 oz. bag frozen chopped green pepper
  • 1 cup bag frozen carrot slices
  • 2 1/2 cups beef broth
  • 12 oz. box elbow pasta
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese optional
  • dollops sour cream garnish
  • 1 tsp chopped parsley garnish

Instructions

  • In a large skillet with a tight fitting lid, brown the ground beef with the minced onion and garlic powder. Drain, if needed.
  • Pour in the crushed tomatoes and Hungarian paprika - stir to combine. Stir in the frozen bell peppers and carrot slices and stir through. Pour in the beef stock and bring to bubbling.
