Pasta Fagioli in the Crockpot.....

• Okay, so last weekend I made this great recipe...Pasta Fagioli it's
  just
  like the one at Olive
  Garden but better!! Here is the Recipe..

• 
  --1 pound lean ground beef, browned and
  drained
  --1/2 large red onion, chopped
  --1 cup carrots, chopped
  --2
  celery stalks, sliced
  --2 cans (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes (and juice)
  --1
  can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  --1 can white beans, drained and
  rinsed
  --4 cups beef broth (check label for gluten!)
  --1 jar (16.5 oz)
  pasta sauce
  --2 tsp oregano
  --1 T Tabasco sauce
  --1/2 tsp
  salt
  --1/4 tsp black pepper
  --1/2 cup dry pasta, to add at end of
  cooking time
  
  The Directions. Use a 6 quart or larger
  crockpot, or cut the recipe in
  half. This makes a lot. Brown the meat on the
  stovetop, and drain well. Let it
  cool a bit. Chop up the carrots, onion, and
  celery. Add it to the empty
  crockpot.Drain and rinse the beans, and add
  them. Add the whole cans of
  tomatoes, and the pasta sauce. Add the beef
  broth. Add the salt, pepper,
  oregano, and Tobasco sauce. Stir in your meat.
  Cover and cook on low for 8
  hours, or high for 4. When the vegetables are
  tender, stir in the 1/2 cup of dry
  pasta.Cover and cook for another hour on
  low, or until the pasta is tender. It
  will swell quite a bit.Serve with a
  bit of parmesan cheese if you have
  it.
