Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium sweet onion chopped
  • 1 medium green pepper chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 32 oz beef broth
  • 28 fl oz can whole peeled tomatoes pulsed in blender
  • 24 oz pasta sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups lasagna noodles broken
  • 5 oz grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups mozzarella

Instructions

  • Brown the ground beef, onion, and pepper in a large dutch oven. It should be broken into fine particles and cooked till juices run clear.
  • Add the garlic to the dutch oven during the last minute or two of cooking.
  • Now add your brown sugar, beef broth, tomatoes, pasta sauce, oregano, basil and salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes.
  • Add the noodles and simmer until they are tender.
  • Stir in the parmesan cheese.
  • Turn on your broiler. Allow it to preheat properly.
  • Transfer soup into ovenproof soup bowls. Top with oodles of cheese. Place the bowls in the oven and broil for 3 to 5 minutes, or until cheese is golden and bubbly.
  • Remove from the oven and serve.

Notes

Beef Broth Notes: You can mix 4 cups boiling water with 1 to 2 tablespoons of better than bouillon beef base if you don't have a liquid broth. 
Tomatoes Notes: I recommend using San Marzano tomatoes if you can find them. 
Pasta Sauce Notes: I used Ragu Sauteed Onion and Garlic but any pasta sauce you love will work. Rao is tasty, and homemade is always amazing. 
Cheese Notes: I highly recommend pizza mozzarella but any mozzarella will work for this recipe.
