Instructions

Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the elbow macaroni according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Brown the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and finely chopped onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef is fully browned and the onions are soft and translucent.
Add Flavor: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 additional minute until fragrant. Then add garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and the tomato sauce. Stir everything well and reduce the heat to low. Let the mixture simmer gently for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Combine: Add the drained elbow macaroni into the skillet with the beef and sauce mixture. Toss thoroughly until the pasta is evenly coated with the sauce.
Serve: Serve the savory beefaroni immediately while hot for a comforting and hearty meal.

Notes

For a richer flavor, you can add a splash of red wine to the beef while browning.
Feel free to top with shredded mozzarella or Parmesan cheese before serving.
Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
