Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat Olive oil from the Vegetables group over medium-high heat. Brown the Beef in batches, then set aside.
Add the Onion, Carrots, and Celery from the Vegetables group to the pot and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add the Garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
Return the Beef to the pot. Add all ingredients from the Sauce group and the Beef broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 60 minutes, or until the beef is tender.
Stir in the Elbow macaroni and cook for another 10-12 minutes, or until the macaroni is tender.
Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of the Shredded cheddar cheese from the Other group until melted. Top with the remaining cheese and serve immediately.
