In a large heavy bottomed skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, breaking it up.
1 pound ground beef
Once the meat is broken up and just started to brown, about two minutes, add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Season with oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Cook until the onion and bell peppers are soft, about five to seven minutes.
1 medium yellow onion, 1 green bell pepper, 2 garlic cloves, 2 teaspoons dried oregano, 2 teaspoons dried basil, 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Stir in the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, chicken broth, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir in the macaroni. Cover and turn up the heat to medium high. Bring everything to a roaring simmer. Cook covered for nine to twelve minutes, or until the pasta is tender, stirring often, scraping the bottom of the pan so the noodles don't stick there.
15 ounce tomato sauce, 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes, 1 1/2 cups chicken broth, 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce, 8 ounces elbow macaroni
Stir in the cheese and serve immediately.
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

You are looking for canned tomato sauce that is just pureed tomatoes without any seasoning, not a pasta sauce.
I like to shred my cheese while the dish is simmering in step three.
