Step 1

Prepare your pasta according to package directions.

Heat olive oil in a dutch oven or large fry pan. Sauté onion, until translucent. Stir in celery, cook for a minute or two then add in peppers. Cook for about 3 minutes more. Remove from pan.

Add ground meat to the pan cook until crumbled, season with salt and pepper. When meat is done, add the vegetables back to the pot. Stir.

Add tomato soup, tomato's and broth/stock, stir until well mixed. Simmer on low for about 15 - 20 minutes then add in cooked, drained pasta. Mix together, simmer for 10 more minutes, then serve.

You can top this with grated cheese if you choose.

Note:
Also, instead of using fire roasted tomatoes you can use 2 cans of Rotel tomatoes for a little kick.
