1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
4 cups beef broth

In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.
Transfer the cooked beef to a slow cooker. Add the diced onion, bell pepper, crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, garlic, and Italian seasoning.
Pour in the beef broth and stir well to combine.
Cover and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours.

Cook on HIGH for another 30 minutes, or until noodles are tender.
Serve hot, topped with a spoonful of ricotta, a sprinkle of mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese.

Lighter Option: Use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef.
Spicy Kick: Add red pepper flakes or substitute with spicy Italian sausage.
Flavor Boost: Stir in a splash of red wine or a few basil leaves during the final hour of cooking.
Serving Ideas: Pair with garlic bread, a green salad, or roasted vegetables for a full meal.
