Fast and easy. Not gourmet, but with a name like Elbows and Ground Beef hopefully you aren't expecting gourmet. Do NOT use spaghetti sauce. The tomatoes and peppers create a completely different taste. In addition to the listed ingredients, I sauteed the onions, peppers and when almost done, a heaping tablespoon of minced garlic. I also stirred in a can of petite diced tomatoes with the sauce. Yum!

This is easy and good. I've made it exactly as the recipe calls and I've also modified the recipe and added some garlic to the sauce..then mixed the sauce and noodles with shredded parmesan and mozarella in a baking dish and baked the whole thing. This was far better...probably less healthy with all the cheese (LOL) but yummy!

This recipe was quick and easy to make. I was surprised I didn't need to add more seasoning other than what I normally use to season my ground beef. This is a great family recipe! The only thing I did differently was using only one can of tomato sauce instead of two.

Read thru 43 reviews before making this dish. So many wonderful ideas. Used what I had on hand - 3 cloves garlic (minced), 7 oz tomato sauce, 2 carrots (diced), 1/2 cup macaroni, 1 small potato (diced), 1/2 cup chicken broth to 1/2 lb ground beef. Salt, pepper to taste. Served over steamed wihite rice. Fantastic comfort food.

My husband does not like casserole or casserole-like food, but he liked this one....he said it's a keeper! I halved the recipe and added garlic like a few other reviewers. Tasty and quick!
