Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup green pepper chopped
  • 1/2 cup yellow onion chopped
  • 16 ounces elbow macaroni uncooked
  • 16 ounces tomato sauce
  • 1 tablespoon vegan Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 3 cups beef-style broth
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
  • 2 tablespoons parsley chopped

Instructions

  • Set a large deep skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the chopped green pepper and onion. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until softened.
  • Add the uncooked elbow macaroni, tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, chili powder, black pepper, garlic powder, and broth. Stir well to combine, then reduce the heat to low.
  • Cover and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the macaroni is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed. Stir once or twice during cooking to prevent sticking.
  • Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top and let it melt. Finish with chopped parsley and serve hot.
