Ingredients

2 lbs ground beef Lean ground beef or ground turkey work too.
1 yellow onion chopped
3 garlic cloves minced
2 (15 ounce) cans diced tomatoes undrained
2 (15 ounce) cans tomato sauce
3 cups water
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp Italian seasoning
2 tsp seasoned salt
1 (16 ounce) box elbow macaroni Any short pasta works fine. Use gluten-free pasta to make this recipe gluten free.

Instructions

In a Dutch oven or large saucepan, cook ground beef over medium heat until no longer pink. Drain grease. Add onion and garlic and cook for 3 minutes, or until soft and fragrant.
Add diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, water, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, seasoned salt and elbow macaroni to the pan. Mix well and bring to a boil. Reduce to medium-low heat, cover pan and simmer for 25-30 minutes or until pasta is cooked through.
Remove from heat and serve immediately.

Notes

Storing leftovers. Refrigerate cooled leftovers in a covered or airtight container; it will keep for 3 to 4 days. The noodles may have absorbed some of the liquid, leaving it dried out. Feel free to add a bit of water or chicken broth before heating.

Freezing. To freeze, store it in a labeled freezer-safe container. When you're ready to enjoy, thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.

Reheating. To reheat individual portions, microwave in 1-minute increments, stirring each time, until heated through. For larger amounts, reheat in a skillet or saucepan until hot. It may be necessary to add a bit of water or broth to loosen up the pasta and revitalize the sauce.
