Ingredients
- 1 lb. ground beef, lean
- ½ medium onion, diced

- 1 cup macaroni noodles, uncooked
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tsp garlic salt
- 1 ½ cups beef broth
- ¼ cup Tastefully Simple® Mama Mia Marinara Sauce Mix

Instructions
- Brown the ground beef, onion, and bell pepper in a skillet over medium heat. Drain any excess fat and return the pan to the stovetop.

- Once melted, serve and enjoy!
Notes
- For extra flavor, feel free to add some Italian seasoning or crushed red pepper flakes.
