A true comfort meal that's easy to make and a true american classic!! So delicious!

RECIPE:

1 pound lean ground beef
1 small sweet onion, finely diced
1 green pepper, finely diced(optional)
2 teaspoons minced garlic
24 ounce jar pasta sauce
8 ounces tomato sauce
15 ounce can petite diced tomatoes
1 cup water
1 ½ teaspoons Italian seasoning
1 Tablespoon sugar
1 cup uncooked elbow macaroni

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.

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

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.

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.

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).
