Step 1

Cook the macaroni according to the package instructions and drain.

Step 2

In a large pot, brown the ground beef in a bit of oil.

Step 3

Add the onions and bell peppers, and cook for 5 minutes

Step 4

Add the diced tomatoes and tomato sauce. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 5

Let simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has a slightly thinner consistency than spaghetti sauce.

Step 6

Remove from heat and stir in the cooked macaroni until well coated. Add a bit of mozzarella cheese into the mixture — this will help the sauce stick to the pasta.

Step 7

Pour everything into an oven-safe baking dish and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese on top.

Step 8

Bake at 350°F for about 20 minutes, then broil briefly to gratinate the cheese.
