Ingredients

• 3 cups water
• 2 pounds lean ground beef
• 3 bay leaves
• 2 (14.5 ounce) cans diced tomatoes
• 3 cloves garlic, chopped
• 2 (15 ounce) cans tomato sauce
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Cook and stir ground beef in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, breaking the meat up as it cooks, until no longer pink and has started to brown, about 10 minutes. Skim off excess fat. Add onions and garlic; cook and stir until onions are translucent, about 5 more minutes.

Step 2

Stir in water, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, soy sauce, Italian seasoning, seasoned salt, and bay leaves; bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 3

Stir in uncooked macaroni, cover, and simmer over low heat until pasta is tender, about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat, discard bay leaves, and serve.
