Macaroni Beef Stew

  • Prep 30 min
  • Total 2 hr 40 min
  • Ingredients 10
  • Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 1 1/2 lb. beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 cup sliced celery
  • 1/2 cup sliced onion
  • 1 (14.5-oz.) can whole tomatoes, undrained, cut up
  • 2 1/2 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 4 1/2 oz. (1 cup) uncooked elbow macaroni

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oil in Dutch oven over medium-high heat until hot. Add beef; cook and stir until browned.
  • 2
    Add all remaining ingredients except macaroni; mix well. Cover; simmer 2 hours or until beef is tender.
  • 3
    Stir in macaroni; cook, uncovered, over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes or until macaroni is tender, stirring occasionally.

  • Made with chunks of beef instead of ground meat, this stew has a hearty, stick-to-your-ribs texture. You can make it ahead of time (minus the noodles, which may become gummy from sitting in the liquid); the flavors will mingle and become even better refrigerated overnight. At serving time, stir in the cooked noodles and reheat.
