1 pound lean ground beef
1 quart stewed tomatoes
1 ½ cups uncooked macaroni
½ cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons paprika
6 ounces tomato paste (Optional)
water, as needed
Directions
Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add ground beef; cook and stir until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes.
