Ingredients
1 pound of ground beef

*In a Dutch oven, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Add the tomatoes, water, soup mix, Italian seasoning and pepper flakes if desired. Bring to a boil. Stir in macaroni. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 8-9 minutes or until macaroni is tender.

Note: If you end up using two 14 oz. cans of diced tomatoes like I did, I recommend draining one of the cans. Also, to save calories, I didn't add any mozzarella to the pan, I just sprinkled a couple of TBSP on top on our individual bowls.
