Instructions

1
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef and diced onion.
2
Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Cook, breaking up the meat, until the beef is browned and the onion is soft.
3
Stir in the minced garlic and Worcestershire sauce and cook for another minute until fragrant.
4
Pour in the beef broth, uncooked elbow macaroni, diced tomatoes, and tomato sauce. Stir everything together to combine.
5
Add the two bay leaves to the center of the skillet.
6
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover with a lid, and let it cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the pasta is tender.
7
Once the pasta is cooked, remove and discard the bay leaves.
8
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately. Top individual servings with shredded cheddar cheese, if desired.
