Ingredients

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1 bell pepper (, chopped)
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons seasoned salt (, such as Lawry’s)
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning (, plus more to taste)
  • 2 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce (, plus more to taste)
  • 1 (15-ounce) can petite diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 1 (15-ounce) can beef or chicken broth (, add an extra cup if desired (see note))
  • 1 (15-ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups dry elbow noodles
  • Salt (, plus more to taste )
  • Ground black pepper (, plus more to taste )
  • Bay leaf (, optional)

Directions

  1. 1

    In a large pot, cook beef, onion, and pepper over medium heat 3 to 5 minutes, or until brown. Drain any grease, if needed. Stir in the garlic, Italian seasoning, seasoned salt, and Worcestershire sauce. Let cook an additional 1 to 2 minutes.

  2. 2

    Stir in diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, corn, and broth. Season with salt and pepper. Add bay leaf, if desired. Bring to a light simmer and add noodles. Stir and cover with a lid. Let cook 10 minutes, or until the noodles are tender, stirring halfway to prevent noodles from sticking.

  3. 3

    Season to taste. Sprinkle cheese over top, if desired, and cover 1 minute, or until the cheese has melted. Add fresh basil or parsley, if desired. Serve while hot!
