Bobby's Goulash

• 2  lb  lean ground beef
• 2 large onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, chopped
• 3  cup  water
• 2 (15-ounce) cans tomato sauce
• 2 (15-ounce) cans diced tomatoes
• 2  tablespoon  Italian seasoning
• 3 bay leaves
• 3  tablespoon  soy sauce
• 1  tablespoon  Paula Deen's House Seasoning
• 1  tablespoon  Paula Deen's Seasoned Salt
• 2  cup  elbow macaroni, uncooked

In a Dutch oven, saute the ground beef over medium-high heat until no pink remains. Break up the meat while sauteing. Spoon off any grease. Add the onions and garlic to the pot and saute until they are tender, about 5 minutes. Add 3 cups water, along with the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, Italian seasoning, bay leaves, soy sauce, House Seasoning, and seasoned salt. Stir well. Place a lid on the pot and allow this to cook for 15 to 20 minutes. Add the elbow macaroni, stir well, return the lid to the pot, and simmer for about 30 minutes. Turn off the heat, remove the bay leaves, and allow the mixture to sit about 30 minutes more before serving. Serve with garlic bread and a salad.
