Ingredients
2 Lbs. Ground beef, 93% lean1 Large yellow onion4 Large Cloves garlic, minced3 C. Water2 Cn. Tomato sauce, 15oz.ea.2 Cn. Petite diced tomatoes, 14.5oz.ea.3 T. Soy sauce2 T. Dried oregano2 t. Dried basil2 Dried bay leaves1 T. Seasoned salt½ t. Black pepper2 C. Elbow macaroni, uncooked
Directions
In a large Dutch oven, cook the meat over medium heat, breaking up the meat as it cooks into small pieces. Cook until the meat is cooked through and there's no longer any pink. Stir in the onions and garlic. Cook and stir the mixture until the onions are translucent.
Stir in water, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, soy sauce, oregano, basil, bay leaves, seasoned salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the pasta, cover, and simmer over low heat until the pasta is tender, about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat, discard bay leaves, and refrigerate, if possible, overnight. If you must, you could serve it, but it's much better if you wait until the next day and reheat it.
You can also add a can of corn, ½ cup celery, ½ cup green bell pepper , different types of cheese, or even, no cheese at all.

    It was alright when first cooked but the leftovers had a weird texture that no one in my family liked. - 10/28/18
