  • 24 ouncejar pasta sauce ((i like rao’s roasted garlic sauce))

  • 15 ouncecan petite diced tomatoes
  • 1 cupwater
  • 1 ½ teaspoonsitalian seasoning
  • 1 tablespoongranulated sugar
  • 1 cupuncooked elbow macaroni

Directions

  1. 1

    Brown and crumble 1 pound ground beef along with 1 small sweet onion, finely diced and 1 green pepper, finely diced in a large skillet. Cook until meat is fully cooked and onions and peppers are softened. Drain excess grease.

  2. 2

    Add ground beef mixture into a 4-6 quart slow cooker.

  3. 3

    Stir in 2 teaspoons minced garlic, 24 ounce jar pasta sauce, 8 ounce can tomato sauce, 15 ounce can petite diced tomatoes, 1 cup water, 1 ½ teaspoons Italian seasoning and 1 Tablespoon granulated sugar. (DO NOT ADD MACARONI NOODLES YET)

  4. 4

    Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for about 2-4 hours. Everything is already cooked so we’re basically just letting everything simmer and for the flavors to come together.

  5. 5

    During the last hour of cooking, add in 1 cup uncooked elbow macaroni and stir. Cover and cook until noodles are al dente (or softer if you prefer).

  6. 6

    Then serve! We enjoy eating this with some fresh garlic bread and a salad.
