Need to feed an army? Try this easy macaroni and home-made sauce. It's guaranteed to please young and old. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil |
2 pounds ground beef |
1 small onion, finely chopped |
3 cloves garlic, chopped |
1/2 teaspoon italian seasoning |
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste |
1 (16 ounce) can crushed tomatoes |
1 1/3 (16 ounce) packages elbow macaroni |
1 pound sharp cheddar cheese, shredded |
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, and stir in the ground beef until crumbly and no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Stir in the onion, garlic, Italian seasoning, cayenne pepper, and salt; continue cooking until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes more. Drain off the excess grease, and add the tomato paste and crushed tomatoes. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer 1 hour.
2. Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack at about 6 inches from the heat source.
3. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain. Stir the cooked macaroni into the meat sauce until combined, then spread into a 9x13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle with Cheddar and Parmesan cheeses.
4. Broil in preheated oven until the cheese is bubbly and golden, about 5 minutes.
