Number Of Ingredients 14

1 lb lean ground beef
1 cup chopped yellow onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
1 teaspoon oil, if needed
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes with juice
6 cups beef stock or 6 cups beef broth
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon salt
pepper, to taste
1 cup uncooked elbow macaroni
1 (15 ounce) can red kidney beans, drained and rinsed

Steps:

In a large soup pot over medium heat, combine the meat, onion, garlic, and bell pepper.
Cook, breaking the meat up using a spoon, until the meat is browned and vegetables are tender (about 10 minutes).
Add in the oil if needed to prevent mixture from sticking.
Add in the rest of the ingredients; bring to a boil.
Lower heat and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for about 15-20 minutes or until macaroni is tender and flavors are blended.
