Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 (10.75-ounce) cans condensed cream of tomato soup
- 1 (15-ounces) can diced tomatoes, undrained
- 32 ounces beef broth
- 4 cups water
- 2 cups uncooked pasta
Instructions
- Step 1: Heat the vegetable oil (2 tablespoons) in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the onions (1), green bell pepper (1), and garlic (2 cloves) and saute until the onion mixture begins to soften about 5-6 minutes.
- Step 2: Add the ground beef (1 pound), crumbling with a wooden spoon, cook until there is no longer any pink. Drain off excess fat.
- Step 3: Add the chili powder (2 teaspoons), oregano (2 teaspoons), salt (1 teaspoon), and pepper (1/2 teaspoon) and cook over medium heat for 1-2 minutes.
- Step 4: Add condensed cream of tomato soup (2 (10.75-ounce) cans), diced tomatoes with their juice (1 (15-ounces) can), beef broth (32 ounces), and water (4 cups).
- Step 5: Bring to a boil, add pasta (2 cups). Reduce heat and cover and simmer until the pasta is just al dente. Adjust seasoning and serve.
Notes
For a Mexican flair, add a teaspoon or two of cumin, shredded Mexican cheese, and chopped cilantro. If the broth is too acidic, a pinch of sugar or a small pat of butter can balance the flavor.
