Brown the Beef:

In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the ground beef and chopped onion over medium heat until the meat is browned and the onion is tender. Drain excess grease if needed.

Add Seasonings:

Stir in garlic, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and tomato paste. Cook for 1–2 minutes to deepen the flavor.

Add Liquids:

Pour in the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes (with juice), and beef broth. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.

Add Pasta:

Stir in the uncooked macaroni. Reduce heat slightly and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, for about 15–20 minutes, or until pasta is cooked and sauce is thickened.

Finish & Serve:

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Optionally stir in shredded cheddar for extra richness. Garnish with parsley and serve hot.
