Homemade Chef Boyardee: Beefy Macaroni Tomato Soup in a crockpot

My husband doesn't see it but this recipe has a certain Chef Boyardee nastalga for me. I started with a recipe for tomato macaroni soup but didn't have half the ingredients so I started improvising.

1 can of condensed tomato soup

1 can of water

1 can of died tomatoes

1 full size can tomato sauce

2-3 bay leaves

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/4 teaspoon ground celery seed

1/2 teaspoon basil

1 lb cooked ground beef 

I tossed everything in the crock-pot on high for 3.5 hrs.

Then added:

2 cups chicken stock

4 handfuls of uncooked macaroni

Let cook till macaroni is tender. Enjoy:)
