Sloppy Joe Macaroni and Cheese

Sloppy Joe Macaroni and Cheese Sauce: 1.5 cup tomato sauce 4 tablespoons brown sugar 2 tablespoon tomato paste 4 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce 1 teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon ground black pepper Pasta & Remainder of Dish: 4 cups dry Rotini or other similar pasta 2 tablespoon olive oil 1.5 cup diced onion 1 green bell pepper, diced (about 1 cup) 5 cloves garlic, minced 1 teaspoon Paprika 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (optional) 1 pound ground beef 2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (I used Cabot cheese) Sauce: In a mixing bowl, thoroughly mix together all the ingredients for the sauce and set aside. Pasta and the remainder of the dish: Cook the pasta in a large pot of salted, boiling water according the directions on the package and then drain. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion, green pepper and garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes or until fragrant and veggies are soft. Add the ground beef to the same skillet and break it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks all the way through - about 6-8 minutes. Add the sauce that you mixed up earlier to the skillet. Add the drained pasta and the cheese on top. Turn the heat down to medium-low, and stir the mixture until the cheese has thoroughly melted and the ingredients are evenly coated and distributed. Serve immediately.
