Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 Pounds Extra Lean Ground Beef
1 Medium Yellow Onion (Peeled And Diced)
3 Cloves Garlic (Peeled And Miced)
72 Ounces Jarred Marinara Sauce (Three 24 Ounce Jars)
12 Ounces Canned Corn (Drained)
10 Ounces Canned Diced Tomatoes with Green Chiles (Such As RoTel Brand)
2 Tablespoons Italian Seasoning
1 1/2 Pounds Elbow Macaroni Pasta

Steps:

In a medium skillet on the stove top cook the ground beef, onion and garlic until the ground beef is cooked through and crumbled. Drain off the excess cooking fat.
Add the cooked ground beef, onion and garlic mixture to the bottom of a 6.5 quart or larger slow cooker. Add the marinara sauce, corn, diced tomatoes with green chilies and Italian seasoning.
Give everything a quick stir and cover and cook for 6 hours on LOW or 3 hours on HIGH.
About 30 minutes before the end of the cooking time (or before you are ready to serve) bring a large pot of water to boil on the stove top and cook the macaroni pasta according to the package directions until they are al dente (about 7 minutes). Drain the pasta and carefully add the cooked pasta into the slow cooker and stir to coat all the pasta with the sauce mixture.
Add shredded cheddar cheese right before serving and enjoy!

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound ground beef
1 small sweet onion (finely diced)
1 green pepper (seeded and finely diced, optional)
2 teaspoons minced garlic (jarred or fresh)
24 ounces pasta sauce (I like Rao's Roasted Garlic Sauce)
8 ounce can tomato sauce
15 ounce can petite diced tomatoes)
1 cup water
1 ½ teaspoons Italian seasoning
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 cup macaroni noodles

Steps:

Brown and crumble ground beef along with diced onions and pepper in a large skillet. Cook until meat is fully cooked and onions and peppers are softened. Drain excess grease. Note: Many slow cookers have a sauté option. Please feel free to use this option on your slow cooker for less dirty dishes.
Add ground beef mixture into a 4-6 quart slow cooker.
Stir in garlic, pasta sauce, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, water, Italian seasoning and sugar. (DO NOT ADD MACARONI NOODLES YET)
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 8-10 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 the macaroni noodles and stir. Cover again. Cook until noodles are al dente (or softer if you prefer).
Then serve! We enjoy eating this with some fresh garlic bread and a salad.
