ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 cup diced onion
- 1 cup sliced celery
- 1 cup sliced carrot
- 2 cloves finely chopped garlic (or more)
- 1 (16 ounce) can tomatoes
- 15 ounces tomato sauce
- 15 ounces red kidney beans, undrained
- 2 cups water
- 5 teaspoons beef bouillon granules
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
- 1⁄2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1⁄2 teaspoon dried basil
- 1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1⁄2 cup small macaroni noodles
- salt, SEE NOTE*
- freshly grated parmesan cheese
directions
- Brown beef in a large heavy kettle; drain. Add all the ingredients except macaroni. Bring to a boil; lower heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
- Add macaroni, bring to a boil again and simmer until vegetables are tender.
- *At this point you'll want to taste for salt; the original recipe calls for 1 tsp but I think that's a bit too much. Sprinkle with the parmesan cheese before serving.
