Preparation

Step 1

Stir together the cooked and drained ground beef, onion, carrots, celery, tomatoes, beans, broth, pasta sauce, oregano, hot pepper sauce, salt and pepper in a slow cooker.
Cover and cook on low for 5-7 hours or until the vegetable are as tender as you like them.
When ready to serve, stir the cooked pasta into the soup.
Serve with the grated parmesan if desired


(hint/ to speed up the cooking process, I added the onion, carrots, and celery, as I browned the hamburger, so it partially cooked, before adding everything to the slow cooker.)

(would also be awesome with spicy italian sausage)
