Steps

1. 1

   Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and chopped onion; cook, breaking up the beef, until browned and onion is softened. Drain any excess fat.

2. 2

   Stir in minced garlic and Italian seasoning; cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

3. 3

   Pour in crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes (undrained), beef broth, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

4. 4

   Add uncooked elbow macaroni to the pot. Stir well to ensure macaroni is submerged in the liquid.

5. 5

   Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until macaroni is tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Add a splash more broth or water if it gets too dry.

6. 6

   Season with salt and pepper to taste. If desired, stir in shredded cheddar cheese until melted before serving. Serve hot.
