In a large pot over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it’s browned. Drain off most of the grease, keeping just a tiny bit.
02 -
Add the pieces of onion and garlic to the beef. Stir and let it cook for a couple of minutes until they’re soft.
03 -
Pour in diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, the broth, Worcestershire sauce, and seasonings. Let it bubble lightly.
04 -
Toss in the macaroni, cover the pot, and let it simmer on low for 15-20 minutes. Stir every so often, so it doesn’t stick.
05 -
If using, mix in half the shredded cheese. Spread the rest over the top and cover until it melts completely. Add parsley for a fresh touch before serving.
