Directions
Step 1
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease, then transfer the beef to the crock pot.

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the crock pot with the beef.
Step 3
Stir in the diced tomatoes (with juice), tomato sauce, beef broth, soy sauce, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Set your crock pot to low and cook for 3.5 hours, stirring occasionally to ensure the flavors combine evenly.
Step 5
After 3.5 hours, stir in the uncooked elbow macaroni, making sure the pasta is submerged in the liquid.
Step 6
Continue cooking on low for an additional 30 minutes, or until the pasta is tender but not overcooked.
Step 7
Once done, taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot, topped with shredded cheddar cheese and a sprinkle of parsley if desired.
