Ingredients

Meat and Vegetables

  • 1 pound ground chuck
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Liquids and Tomatoes

  • 4 cups chicken stock
  • 29 oz petite diced tomatoes (or two 14.5 oz cans), undrained
  • 15 oz tomato sauce

Seasonings and Pasta

  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 cups broken lasagna noodles

Cheeses

  • 5 oz grated or shaved Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Brown the Meat: In a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, cook the ground chuck, stirring occasionally, until it is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  2. Sauté Vegetables and Garlic: Add the chopped onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic to the pot with the browned meat. Cook until the vegetables have softened and the onion is translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
  3. Add Liquids and Seasonings: Pour in the chicken stock, diced tomatoes (with juices), and tomato sauce. Stir in the brown sugar, dried Italian seasoning, and kosher salt. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
  4. Simmer the Soup: Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and let the soup simmer for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
  5. Add Pasta and Cook: Stir in the broken lasagna noodles. Continue to simmer the soup, uncovered, for another 10-12 minutes, or until the pasta is tender but not mushy. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  6. Stir in Cheeses: Remove the pot from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and shredded mozzarella cheese until melted and well incorporated into the soup, creating a creamy, cheesy texture.
  7. Serve: Ladle the hot soup into bowls and serve immediately, optionally garnished with extra Parmesan or fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

  • Use fresh garlic for the best flavor, but garlic powder can be substituted in a pinch.
  • For a vegetarian version, substitute ground meat with plant-based protein and use vegetable stock.
  • Broken lasagna noodles cook quicker than whole lasagna noodles, but you can adjust cooking time if using whole noodles.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat well.
  • Make sure not to overcook the noodles to avoid sogginess.
