===Instructions===
  -In a large skillet, cook the ground beef, onion, and garlic until no pink remains. Drain or blot out any fat.
  -Add the marinara sauce, broth, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, bell pepper, italian seasoning, bay leaves, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
  -Add the elbow macaroni, reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  -Uncover and simmer an additional 5 to 10 minutes or until pasta is tender.
  -Turn off/remove from heat. Remove and discard the bay leaf. Top with cheese and replace lid. Let rest for 5 minutes until pasta has thickened and cheese is melted.
