Pasta Fagioli

Ingredients:

1 lb. hamburger, browned and drained

1 cup sliced carrots

3 stalks chopped celery

1 can Kidney beans, drained and rinsed

2 cans canned tomatoes

4 cups beef broth

16 oz. jar of spaghetti sauce (I like Prego)

1/2 cup dry pasta (I used rotini..I also thought 1/2 cup didn't look like enough and added almost 2 cups....WAY TOO MUCH! Keep it under 1 cup)

1 tsp. oregano

Salt & Pepper to taste

Dump all ingredients except for the pasta, into a large crockpot (this makes a lot). Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4 hours. Then add the pasta and cook for one additional hour or until the pasta is tender. The pasta REALLY plumps up. 1/2 cup will not seem like enough, but really it is.

This was VERY yummy and so easy!!!

It was yummy, but I think would have been better soupier.
