Ingredients 

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 white onion chopped , or one bell pepper
  • 2 ½ cups beef broth , + up to 1 cup more while pasta is cooking if needed
  • ½ cup bbq sauce
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp pepper
  • 2 cups elbow noodles
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup sour cream

Instructions 

  • To a deep pan over medium heat add the ground beef and onion (or bell pepper) and cook the beef through, drain the access grease.
  • Add the noodles, BBQ sauce, frozen corn, and beef broth. Stir to combine and make sure the pasta is covered in the broth.
  • Simmer covered for about 12-15 minutes or until the pasta is cooked. Make sure you stir frequently while simmering so nothing burns to the bottom of the pan. If the broth reduces down too low while simmering you can always add in 1/2 cup more beef broth so the pasta doesn’t dry out.
  • Once the pasta is tender turn the heat off then add in the cheese and sour cream. Stir to melt down the cheese and cream enjoy.

    Another winner. Ground beef was on sale and I was looking for a quick easy dinner. This one filled the bill. The sweetness of the BBQ sauce put this one over the top and made it stand out from other pasta dishes. I did have to use the extra one cup of broth to get the macaroni how I like it.
