Hearty Beef Macaroni Bake
Baked lean ground beef and chickpea macaroni are combined with a rich tomato sauce and topped with a bubbly, golden layer of sharp cheddar cheese.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz ground beef (93% lean)
2 oz chickpea macaroni
0.5 cup tomato puree
0.25 cup yellow onion
0.25 cup green bell pepper
1 clove garlic
0.5 oz sharp cheddar cheese
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.5 tsp dried oregano
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Boil the chickpea macaroni in salted water for 2 minutes less than the package directions suggest; drain and set aside.
In a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef while breaking it into small crumbles.
Add the diced yellow onion and green bell pepper to the skillet, sautéing until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the minced garlic, sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the tomato puree and stir to combine, allowing the sauce to simmer for 3 minutes.
Fold the cooked macaroni into the beef mixture until every noodle is evenly coated in sauce.
Sprinkle the shredded sharp cheddar cheese over the top and transfer the skillet to the oven.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until the cheese is completely melted and the edges are bubbling.
