Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion (chopped)
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic (about 3 to 4 cloves)
- 1½ teaspoons salt (or to taste)
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ cup nutritional yeast
- 8-ounce can of tomato sauce
- 32 ounces beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Franks Red Hot Sauce (or to taste)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 3 cups elbow noodles (also called macaroni noodles)
- ¼ cup dairy-free sour cream (optional, to taste)
Instructions
- In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and chopped onion. Let it cook for about 5 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook until well browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain any excess grease and then let the minced garlic cook for about 1 minute.
- Mix in all of the spices, stirring well. Pour in the tomato sauce, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, Franks Red Hot Sauce, and Dijon mustard. Stir until nicely combined.
- Add in the elbow noodles and allow them to cook for about 10 to 12 minutes until fully cooked and most of the sauce is absorbed.
- Finally, mix in the dairy-free sour cream, and enjoy your meal!
Notes
Use lean ground beef for a healthier dish. Add vegetables like bell peppers or spinach for extra nutrition. Don’t skip the nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor.
