Easy, Healthy Mac and Beef. Packed with protein, lower in calories, all in one pan, perfect for meal

Ingredients:
• 1 tsp olive oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 red bell pepper, chopped
• 1 tbsp minced garlic
• 1 cup lean ground beef (the leaner it is, the lower the calories)
• Season with 1/2 tsp salt and pepper, and 1 tsp paprika and chili powder
• 1 cup tomato sauce (or pizza/pasta sauce)
• 1 cup water or broth (this time I used beef broth for extra flavour and protein)
• 1 heaping cup dry macaroni (uncooked)
Optional: 1 cup spinach

Notes:
• you can substitute in any veggies of your choice. zucchini and corn also work great here.
• for topping ideas, you can use chili flakes and grates parmesan for an extra flavour kick. Otherwise, it’s great as is!
• If you use water instead of broth, you may need to add a bit more salt to taste! It’s all up to your preference.
• This recipe is great to make in bulk and serve for the entire week. Simply cook in a bigger pot if necessary.
