Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 8 ounces elbow macaroni
  • 1 ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ tablespoon pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Hungarian paprika
  • ½ cup sour cream
Directions
  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the beef over medium heat, crumbling as it browns, about 5 minutes. Then, add the onions and garlic and cook until softened and fragrant, about 3 minutes longer.
  2. As the mixture begins to stick to the bottom of the pot, add the tomato paste and mix well to incorporate. Add the crushed tomatoes and tomato sauce and stir.
  3. Add the beef broth and elbow macaroni and bring to a simmer, stirring to combine. Add the salt, pepper, paprika, and caraway seeds, if using.
  4. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is cooked and soft, about 10 minutes. If broth is absorbed before pasta softens, add more broth.
  5. Stir in the sour cream and incorporate until creamy, then serve.
