Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of avocado oil.

Chop the medium yellow onion and green bell pepper into large pieces.

Add the chopped onion and green bell pepper to the pot and season with salt and pepper; cook for 2-3 minutes until softened and lightly browned.

Add 1.5 pounds of ground beef to the pot and break it up; cook until browned without draining the grease.

Stir in 1 can of diced tomatoes (juice included) and 1 can of drained corn.

Add 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/8 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper; mix well.

Add 1 can of tomato soup and 3 cups of beef broth to the mixture; stir to combine and bring to a boil.

Once boiling, taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, garlic powder, or onion powder if desired.

Add 10 to 12 ounces of elbow macaroni to the pot; stir and bring back to a boil.

Cover the pot with a lid, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Check the pasta for tenderness and ensure all liquid is absorbed; if needed, add more liquid.

Once the pasta is tender, turn off the burner and stir in 1/2 cup of grated sharp cheddar cheese until melted and combined.

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
