Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 red bell pepper diced
- 1 green bell pepper diced
- ½ yellow onion diced
- 1 clove garlic minced
- ¾ cup BBQ sauce
- 1 Tablespoon light brown sugar
- 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 Tablespoon dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon pepper or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon chili powder
- 2 ¾ cup low-sodium beef broth
- 3 cups rotini
Instructions
- In a large pan over medium-high heat, add ground beef, diced bell peppers, and onion. Cook, crumbling the beef, until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic; cook until fragrant, around 1 minute. Drain excess grease if needed.
- Stir in BBQ sauce, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, salt, pepper, and chili powder.
- Pour in beef broth and add rotini; stir well to combine.
- Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until rotini is al dente, about 10-14 minutes.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
- Other short pasta such as elbow macaroni would work too.
- Shredded cheese can be sprinkled on top when it is done cooking. Cover the pan to allow the cheese to melt then stir in to the pasta before serving.
