Ingredient notes
- Using lean ground beef helps reduce excess grease, but if using a fattier ground beef, consider draining it before adding other ingredients.
- For a lighter flavor, you can substitute beef broth with water.
Tips from Allrecipes's video
- Cook the onion until softened before adding the ground beef to build flavor.
- Stir in the Italian seasoning, paprika, Worcestershire sauce, and seasoned salt to enhance the dish's taste.
- Make sure to cover the pot while simmering to keep the moisture in, especially when cooking the pasta.
