Instructions
- In a large pot over medium-high heat, thoroughly brown the ground beef, breaking it apart into crumbles as it cooks. If your ground beef creates a lot of excess grease, you may want to drain in before continuing.
- Once browned, add the chopped onion and garlic. Cook stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes.
- Add tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, and red kidney beans. Stir in Italian seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, garlic salt, and pepper. Pour in beef broth and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add noodles and simmer an additional 8 to 10 minutes, until pasta is al dente, stirring periodically. Do not overcook the noodles. They will continue to cook and absorb the broth a little more after cooking.
- Remove from heat and stir in shredded cheese until melted and well combined. Serve immediately with fresh parsley sprinkled on top, if desired.
Notes
- Store: Transfer cooled leftovers to an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Reheat: Warm leftovers on the stovetop over medium heat, or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, adding a splash of water or broth to loosen up the sauce if needed.
