A delightful and hearty pasta dish combining beef, tomatoes, and a blend of seasonings for a comforting meal.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and spray with cooking spray.
Ensure the skillet is evenly coated to prevent sticking.
Add the ground beef, diced onion, garlic powder, and ground black pepper to the skillet.
Break up the beef into small pieces as it cooks for even browning.
Cook while stirring until the beef is browned and the onion is translucent.
Stir frequently to ensure the ingredients cook evenly.
Add the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, sliced mushrooms, salt, and water to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
Adjust the seasoning to taste before simmering.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet.
Covering the skillet helps retain moisture and flavors.
Simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Check occasionally and add more water if the mixture becomes too thick.
Add the elbow macaroni to the skillet and stir to combine.
Ensure the pasta is evenly distributed in the sauce.
Cover and cook for an additional 10 minutes, or until the pasta is tender.
Stir halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Serve the pasta hot, garnished with fresh parsley or grated cheese if desired.
Serve with a side of garlic bread for a complete meal.
