Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds ground beef
1 large onion (diced)
3 cloves garlic (minced)
1 (28-ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes (undrained)
3 cups water
2 teaspoons paprika
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 (15.25-ounce) can whole kernel corn (drained)
2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni
shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

Instructions

In a large dutch oven, brown the ground beef with the onions over medium high heat until it is cooked through. Drain the grease.
Return the meat to the pot and add the garlic over medium heat. Cook for about 1 minute or until the garlic is fragrant. Be cautious not to burn the garlic.
Add the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes with juice, water, paprika, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in uncooked macaroni and corn and simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently to keep the macaroni noodles from sticking, or until the macaroni is done. Serve topped with shredded cheddar cheese.
