Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground Beef Can swap for turkey or a plant-based alternative.
- 1 can (15 oz) Diced Tomatoes Use seasoned tomatoes for added flavor, or fresh tomatoes for a vibrant taste.
- 2 cups Elbow Macaroni Try whole wheat or gluten-free pasta for a lighter option.
- 1 cup Sour Cream For a healthier option, swap with Greek yogurt or a dairy-free alternative.
Instructions
Cooking
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef for 5-7 minutes, breaking it up with a wooden spoon.
- Pour in the diced tomatoes, juices included, and stir to create a rich sauce.
- Add the elbow macaroni, mixing well with the beef and tomatoes.
- Pour in 2 cups of water, bring to a gentle boil, cover, and let simmer for about 10-12 minutes or until the macaroni is tender, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from heat and gently fold in the sour cream, creating a creamy delight.
Notes
Consider adding finely chopped bell peppers or onions while browning the meat for extra flavor and nutrition. For a cheesier version, add shredded cheese before stirring in the sour cream.
