Ingredients

1 lb ground beef
1 onion, diced
1 garlic clove, minced (or garlic powder)
1 tablespoon beef base (to taste)
2 cups water
3 tablespoons paprika
1 (14 ounce) can stewed tomatoes
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 cup elbow macaroni, uncooked
1 (14 ounce) can corn or (14 ounce) can hominy

Preparation

brown ground beef and drain excess fat.
add onion and garlic to beef and cook until tender.
add water, tomato paste, worcestershire, stewed tomatoes, paprika and beef base.

Hominy/corn are optional if you like--I like it, the rest of the family doesn't.
