Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large yellow onion, chopped
2 pounds lean ground beef
3 cloves garlic, chopped
3 cups water
2 cans (15 ounce) tomato sauce
2 cans (14.5 ounce) diced tomatoes
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons dried Italian herb seasoning
1 tablespoon seasoned salt or to taste
3 bay leaves
2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni

Instructions

Gather all ingredients.
Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook 3 minutes, stirring often.
Add ground beef and cook, breaking up the meat until it is evenly browned, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook 3 minutes, stirring often.
Stir in water, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, soy sauce, Italian seasoning, seasoned salt, and bay leaves. Bring to a simmer, cover and cook 5 minutes, stirring halfway through.
Stir in uncooked macaroni, cover, and simmer over medium heat until pasta is tender, 11 to 13 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat, discard bay leaves, and serve.

Notes

For a slow cooker version, make the recipe through Step 1; place browned beef and onion mixture into a slow cooker. Mix in the remaining ingredients and cook on High for 1 hour.
