Scale

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large skillet, set over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked.
Add diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until soft and fragrant.
Stir in uncooked elbow macaroni along with the undrained diced tomatoes and beef broth. Mix thoroughly.
Season with salt, black pepper, and Italian herbs. Bring it to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low.
Fold in half of the shredded cheese, stirring until melted and creamy.
Transfer your mixture to an oven-safe dish. Top with the remaining cheese.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown.

For a lighter version, substitute ground turkey. Keep macaroni slightly undercooked as it will finish cooking in the oven.
