Instructions

  • In large soup pot, over med high heat, cook ground beef, seasoned with salt & pepper, until well browned.

  • Add carrots, celery, and onion to soup pot and saute until tender.
  • Add ground beef back to soup pot.
  • Add tomato paste and garlic. Stir to combine and cook for 4-5 minutes.
  • Add diced tomatoes, beef broth, water, BBQ spice, oregano, and cayenne pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 45-60 minutes (this gives the flavors time to develop).

  • To serve, bring back to a boil, add pasta and cook until pasta is al-dente (according to pasta cooking directions).
