Directions
Cook macaroni according to package directions; drain and set aside.
In the same pot, heat the oil over medium. When hot, add the onion, green pepper and celery; sauté, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Add ground beef and brown, breaking up pieces into large chunks. Spoon off any fat.
Reduce heat to medium-low and add all tomato products, seasonings and the reserved macaroni. Stir well to combine. Heat through and serve.
